NIST-Aligned IR Lifecycle
Our six-phase incident response process follows NIST SP 800-61 — the gold standard for enterprise incident handling.
01
Preparation
IR plan development, tabletop exercises, playbook creation, and retainer agreements — ensuring your team knows exactly what to do before an attack lands.
02
Detection & Analysis
Rapid triage of alerts, log analysis, malware reverse engineering, and scope determination — establishing what happened, when, and the full impact radius.
03
Containment
Immediate isolation of compromised systems, network segmentation, and credential revocation — stopping attacker spread while preserving forensic evidence integrity.
04
Eradication
Complete removal of malware, backdoors, persistence mechanisms, and attacker footholds — verified through forensic analysis and clean imaging.
05
Recovery
Phased restoration of systems from verified clean backups, enhanced monitoring during reintroduction, and validation testing before full return to production.
06
Post-Incident Hardening
Root cause analysis report, lessons learned session, remediation roadmap, and enhanced controls deployment — turning every incident into a security improvement.
