Response & hunting
Incident Response & Threat Hunting
How fast you detect and respond decides what an incident costs. We contain incidents quickly, minimise the damage, and hunt proactively for adversaries already inside the environment, then make sure the same route is closed afterwards.
- Urgent incidents
- [email protected]
- Readiness review
- 2–3 weeks
- Afterwards
- Root-cause report + retest
Durations depend on scope and are confirmed in your proposal.
What you receive
Containment
Compromised systems isolated quickly to stop lateral movement and privilege escalation.
Forensic investigation
Root cause and the full extent of the compromise established, with evidence preserved.
Post-incident report
What happened, how the response performed and the changes that stop it happening again.
Retest and threat hunt
The attacker’s route verified closed, and a hunt for anything else already inside.
Our approach
- Preparation and planningWe develop or refine your incident response plan, define roles and responsibilities and establish communication protocols: the work that makes the response coordinated when it is needed.
- Detection and monitoringContinuous monitoring, real-time analytics and SIEM integration identify anomalies across network, endpoints and cloud.
- Containment and eradicationOnce confirmed, we isolate affected systems to prevent spread, then eradicate the threat: removing malicious files, patching vulnerabilities and hardening configuration.
- Recovery and restorationA structured recovery process protecting data integrity and continuity: restoring from clean backups, validating the restored environment and watching for residual threats.
- Post-incident reviewWe document root cause, assess how the response performed and give tailored recommendations to prevent a repeat.
- Threat huntingA dedicated team scans continuously for indicators of compromise, stealthy malware and unusual patterns, using current threat intelligence to find advanced adversaries early.
- Ongoing enhancementResponse playbooks and hunting methodology refined periodically against the evolving threat landscape.
What the report looks like
See exactly what you will receive before you commit. Every Post-Incident Report we deliver includes:
- Executive summary and timeline
- Root cause and extent of compromise
- Containment, eradication and recovery actions
- Evaluation of the response
- Recommendations to prevent a repeat
Why it matters
Rapid containment
A defined response plan isolates compromised systems and reduces downtime. Quick action often prevents attackers moving laterally or escalating privilege.
Proactive detection
Threat hunting goes beyond reactive measures, uncovering stealthy attacks that bypass traditional defences and cutting the time attackers spend undetected.
Compliance and reputation
Swift response is required by GDPR, PCI DSS and HIPAA. It also protects your reputation by demonstrating competence in addressing a breach.
Continuous improvement
Post-incident review and ongoing hunting refine your controls and processes against evolving adversary tactics.

Frequently asked questions
We think we are under attack right now. What should we do?
Email [email protected] with what you are seeing. Avoid wiping or rebuilding affected systems before we have been in touch, as that can destroy the evidence needed to find the root cause.
Can you help before an incident happens?
Yes. We develop or refine your incident response plan, define roles and set up communication protocols, so the response is coordinated when it is needed. A readiness review typically takes two to three weeks.
What is threat hunting?
Proactive searching for indicators of compromise, stealthy malware and unusual patterns that bypass traditional defences, using current threat intelligence.
What do we receive afterwards?
A post-incident report covering root cause, how the response performed and tailored recommendations, then a retest to confirm the route in is closed.
