Our comprehensive approach ensures your organization can effectively prepare for, detect, and respond to security incidents.
Our structured four-phase methodology ensures comprehensive development of your incident response capabilities.
We begin by understanding your current capabilities and requirements to identify improvement opportunities. Our assessment process covers your existing incident response readiness, regulatory obligations, and security maturity. We evaluate current capabilities, identify applicable regulatory requirements, compare against industry benchmarks, analyze your risk profile and threat landscape, review existing documentation, conduct stakeholder interviews and workshops, and perform a capability maturity assessment.
We create comprehensive documentation that guides your organization's response to security incidents. Building on our assessment findings, we develop a tailored incident response framework that includes an incident classification system, detailed response procedures for different incident types, communication templates and protocols, technical playbooks for common scenarios, evidence handling guidelines, regulatory reporting procedures, and recovery and business continuity integration.
We ensure your incident response capabilities are operational and effective through hands-on training and exercises. Turning plans into practical capabilities, we facilitate plan socialization and stakeholder alignment, deliver team training and skills development, conduct tabletop exercises and scenario walkthroughs, configure and test technical tools, establish external coordination processes, finalize and distribute documentation, and establish performance metrics.
We provide continuous assistance to maintain and enhance your incident response program over time. Our optional ongoing support includes incident response plan maintenance, regular testing and exercise facilitation, post-incident review and improvement guidance, threat intelligence integration, continuous skill development, periodic capability reassessment, and 24/7 incident response support.
We offer flexible engagement models tailored to different organizational needs and security maturity levels.
Our methodology addresses the four critical phases of the incident response lifecycle.
Building the foundation for effective incident management before security events occur. The preparation phase establishes the frameworks, capabilities, and resources needed for effective response. This includes documented policies and procedures, a trained response team with defined roles, necessary tools and access rights, established communication channels, and regular testing through exercises.
Identifying and understanding security incidents quickly and accurately. Effective detection minimizes incident impact through early identification. This phase includes implementing monitoring capabilities and alert mechanisms, performing initial triage and severity assessment, executing preliminary investigation procedures, determining incident scope, and applying technical analysis methodologies.
Limiting damage and eliminating the threat from your environment. Containment strategies prevent incident spread while preserving evidence. This phase includes immediate response actions for different scenarios, evidence preservation procedures, attacker eviction techniques, root cause identification, and system recovery preparation.
Restoring operations securely and learning from the incident. The recovery phase focuses on returning to normal operations while preventing recurrence. This includes secure restoration procedures, system and data validation, establishing return to operation criteria, conducting post-incident analysis, implementing lessons learned, and establishing continuous improvement mechanisms.
Our incident response services provide measurable advantages that enhance your security posture while minimizing incident impact.
Organizations with mature incident response capabilities contain breaches 74 days faster than unprepared organizations, significantly reducing damages.
Meet incident response requirements under NIS2, GDPR, and industry-specific regulations, avoiding penalties for inadequate security measures.
Effective incident management demonstrates security maturity to customers, partners, and regulators, preserving trust even when incidents occur.
Effective incident response can reduce the average cost of a data breach by up to 61%, according to industry research.
Minimize operational disruption through faster detection, containment, and recovery processes.
Don’t wait until you’re in the midst of a crisis to develop your response strategy. Contact OffSeq today to build an incident response program that protects your organization when security incidents occur.
Our team includes seasoned incident responders who have managed complex security incidents across multiple industries.
We combine strategic planning with deep technical expertise in forensics, malware analysis, and threat hunting.
Our incident response frameworks incorporate requirements from NIS2, GDPR, and sector-specific regulations across the EU.
Basic incident response plans can be developed in 4-6 weeks. Comprehensive programs typically require 2-3 months for proper development, testing, and implementation.
Not necessarily. We design incident response plans that leverage your existing IT and security personnel, with clear procedures that can be followed even without deep security expertise. For organizations with minimal internal capabilities, we can provide ongoing support or managed incident response services.
Effective incident response connects with vulnerability management, security monitoring, business continuity, disaster recovery, and security awareness programs. We ensure your incident response plan integrates seamlessly with these functions.
At minimum, incident response plans should be tested annually through tabletop exercises. Organizations with higher risk profiles or regulatory requirements should conduct quarterly exercises, alternating between different scenarios and response teams.
We recommend developing response procedures for multiple incident types including malware infections, phishing attacks, data breaches, denial of service, unauthorized access, insider threats, and ransomware. The specific focus areas depend on your risk profile and industry.
We establish key metrics including time to detection, time to containment, time to recovery, incident impact scores, and process adherence measurements. These metrics provide ongoing visibility into response capability and identify improvement opportunities.
Yes, our incident response team is available 24/7 to provide guidance and hands-on support during active security incidents. We offer both remote and on-site assistance depending on incident severity and requirements.
