Incident Response, Start to Finish
A cyber incident can quickly become a business crisis.
Systems may need to be isolated. Employees and customers may need answers. Legal counsel, insurance carriers, and technology vendors may need to be involved. Leadership must make decisions before the full scope of the incident is known.
Secur-Serv Incident Response Services help your organization prepare for those decisions, contain active threats, restore operations, and reduce the risk of the same incident happening again.
Common Incidents Requiring Expert Response
Ransomware
Contain the attack, determine the extent of the impact, remove malicious activity, and support the restoration of affected systems.
Business Email Compromise
Investigate compromised accounts, identify unauthorized activity, secure access, and determine what information or transactions may have been affected.
Data Breaches
Identify the source and scope of unauthorized access while coordinating containment, documentation, and recovery activities.
Account and Credential Compromise
Secure affected identities, investigate how access was obtained, and address the controls that allowed the compromise.
Suspected Cyber Incidents
Investigate unusual activity when your team knows something is wrong but does not yet understand the cause or extent.
Malware and Endpoint Compromise
Isolate affected devices, investigate malicious activity, remove the threat, and safely return systems to service.
Plan, Respond, and Recover With One Team
Readiness
Plan and Tabletop Testing
- A documented chain of command and escalation contacts, specific to your business
- A response playbook, kept in a portal your team can reach even if the network is down
- Quarterly tabletop exercises — cyber and non-cyber scenarios
Execution
Response and Remediation
- A 1-hour response time once you call
- Containment, remediation, and recovery, delivered by the same team that wrote your plan
- Typically project-based; may already be included if it’s part of your existing Secur-Serv services
How It Works
From Preparation to Recovery
Secur-Serv helps your organization prepare before a cyber incident, respond within one hour when one occurs, and move through containment, remediation, and recovery with one connected team. That continuity reduces delays and helps restore business operations faster.
Assess
Identify business priorities, decision-makers, systems, vendors, and response responsibilities.
Plan & Test
Build the response plan and test it through realistic tabletop exercises.
Respond
Connect with incident response specialists within one hour to begin containment.
Remediate
Remove the threat, address compromised access, and correct affected systems.
Recover
Safely restore systems, resume operations, and strengthen the environment.
Reduce the Cost of Being Unprepared
A faster, coordinated response can limit downtime, confusion, customer impact, and the cost of recovery.
How the Service is Delivered
Secur-Serv delivers incident response planning and coordination through a purpose-built platform that helps organize roles, playbooks, communications, decisions, and response activity in one accessible environment.
Combining a structured incident-response platform with the cybersecurity and IT specialists needed to move from planning through remediation and recovery.
Built Around Your Business
Roles, escalation paths, vendors, systems, communication responsibilities, and recovery priorities are documented around your actual environment.
Tested Through Realistic Scenarios
Tabletop exercises help leadership and technical teams practice decisions, uncover gaps, and improve the plan before an actual incident.
Available During the Response
The plan, contacts, workflows, and response information remain organized in one platform instead of being scattered across documents, inboxes, and individual employees.
Supported by a Technical Team
Cybersecurity specialists can work alongside managed IT, infrastructure, backup, and recovery resources when containment and restoration require more than one discipline.
Build a Plan Around Your Business
Work with Secur-Serv to build and test an incident response plan around your people, systems, vendors, and business priorities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions before an engagement starts.
What are incident response services?
Incident response services help organizations prepare for, investigate, contain, remediate, and recover from cybersecurity incidents. Services may include incident response planning, tabletop exercises, active investigation, containment, system remediation, recovery, and post-incident recommendations.
How quickly can Secur-Serv respond?
Secur-Serv provides a one-hour response time for incident response engagements. The initial response focuses on understanding the situation, establishing communication, and determining the immediate actions required.
Do we need to be a current Secur-Serv customer?
No. Incident response and remediation can be delivered as a project-based engagement. Existing customers should confirm whether response services are already included in their current agreement.
Is incident response included with managed cybersecurity services?
It depends on the services and agreement your organization has in place. Some Secur-Serv customers may already have certain planning or response capabilities included. Your account team can confirm your coverage.
What is the difference between incident response and MDR?
Managed detection and response continuously monitors for suspicious activity and helps identify and respond to threats. Incident response services provide specialized support for a suspected or confirmed cyber incident that requires deeper investigation, containment, remediation, and recovery.
What is the difference between incident response and disaster recovery?
Incident response focuses on investigating and containing the cyber incident, removing the threat, and coordinating the response. Disaster recovery focuses on restoring systems, applications, and data. During a significant cyber incident, the two efforts may need to work together.
What should we do first if we suspect an incident?
Contact your incident response provider and avoid making unnecessary changes to affected systems before receiving guidance. Early actions can affect evidence, containment, and recovery decisions.
Can Secur-Serv help if we already have an incident response plan?
Yes. Secur-Serv can review the existing plan, identify gaps, update responsibilities and procedures, and test it through a realistic tabletop exercise.
What happens after an incident is contained?
The team works to remove the threat, address compromised access, support safe system recovery, document findings, and recommend improvements that reduce the likelihood or impact of a similar incident.
Can I get just the plan, or just response and remediation?
Yes. Start with the plan and tabletop testing on its own, add response coverage whenever you’re ready, or begin with both together — this isn’t an all-or-nothing bundle.
