Incident Response Services
Incident Response
The threat landscape has never been more challenging. Significant numbers of highly skilled and motivated threat actors represent a real danger. Their goals are clear. Penetrate your defences to steal your data, deliver malware to your network, or disrupt your business through destructive attacks such as ransomware or data wipers.
When you are compromised, a fast and efficient response is needed to understand the depth and impact of the incident on your critical business functions.
The impact of a breach is directly proportional to how quickly and how well it is responded to. As a CREST-accredited incident response team, PTP can help you minimise the impact of any breach or incident and maintain business continuity by providing services in line with your company’s specific needs regardless of your cyber maturity level.
Typical incident response services fall under 5 common service types, and can be tailored to meet your specific needs:
Retained service – Ensure we can support as a priority, even if all of your systems are completely down and inaccessible! By pre-emptively securing a retained service, you have pre-approved days to use towards any response services, and we have prior knowledge of your networks so threat containment, eviction and recovery can be expedited to minimise the impact of any incident or breach.
Gap analysis – Do you have the right policies and procedures in place? When disaster strikes, people need to know what to do. PTP gap analysis will provide you with areas of improvement of your current policies and procedures to bring you in line with best practice.
Incident readiness simulation – Test your people, processes and technology against a real-world incident simulation to understand deficiencies and areas of improvement to bring you up to best practice so that when disaster does strike, you can rest assured that you are well prepared. Simulations can be run against your CSIRT team, your GOLD team, and we can even evaluate your SOC efficacy. The simulation can be as expansive or as compartmentalised as you require.
First responder training – up to best-practice standard with PTP training. By doing so you will ensure adequate forensic detail is captured, that the impact of any breach is minimised, and that post-breach analysis provides you with the most amount of detail to ensure remediations can maximise the chances of similar breaches being thwarted in future.
Digital Forensics – Give yourself piece of mind when you need it by using PTP’s CREST-accredited Incident Responders to capture the level of detail you need after any suspicious activity. PTP also have extensive experience of working with law enforcement and legal firms so we can be as discreet or covert as required.
