Incident Response 24/7: containment, forensics & recovery.
During an incident, the goal isn’t “to investigate”—it’s to stop the impact, restore operations safely and preserve clear evidence. Hard2bit delivers IR/DFIR for enterprise environments with SLAs, continuous comms and actionable outputs.
24/7
Activation & containment
Rapid triage, isolation, account lockout, session revocation and stopping lateral movement—without breaking the business.
DFIR
Forensics & root cause
Evidence preservation, timeline reconstruction, initial access vector and persistence identification.
Enterprise
Governance & communications
Clear roles (RACI), continuous comms channel, ITSM/CAB alignment and board-ready reporting.
Recovery
Secure return to operations
Eradication, post-incident hardening, validation and a plan to prevent recurrence.
Enterprise-grade IR/DFIR: speed, control and audit-ready evidence
In critical incidents (ransomware, intrusion, BEC, exfiltration), the difference between “downtime” and “recovery” is decision speed and disciplined containment. Blind shutdowns can destroy evidence, break services or leave persistence behind.
Our IR/DFIR combines containment with forensics: we stabilize, stop propagation, and document initial access, affected identities, persistence and real impact. This accelerates recovery and reduces recurrence risk.
We also bring enterprise governance: continuous communication, ITSM/CAB coordination, situation calls, and reporting for leadership and audit needs (DORA, NIS2, ENS and ISO 27001).
Containment without chaos
Wave-based actions, thresholds and business validation to minimize disruption.
Forensics with traceability
Timeline, evidence, IoCs, root cause and domain-specific recommendations.
Secure recovery
Eradication + post-incident hardening + validation (not just “back online”).
Post-incident improvements
30/60/90 backlog across identity, logging, EDR and segmentation.
Incident types we handle
Technical + operational response to contain, investigate and recover with defensible evidence.
Ransomware
Containment, propagation analysis, secure recovery and anti-recurrence controls.
BEC / Email compromise
M365/Entra ID, OAuth abuse, hidden inbox rules, token revocation and identity hardening.
Intrusion & lateral movement
AD, credential abuse, persistence, attacker tooling and paths to crown-jewel systems.
Data exfiltration
Scope assessment, containment, evidence and support for reporting and communications.
Cloud incidents (AWS/Azure/GCP)
IAM keys/tokens, exposed storage, workloads, containment and remediation.
Insider / privilege abuse
Activity analysis, evidence collection, SoD recommendations and compensating controls.
How we work (IR + DFIR)
End-to-end approach: containment, forensics, eradication and secure recovery—with post-incident improvements.
Activation, triage & stabilization
We open an emergency channel, confirm initial scope, prioritize critical assets and execute immediate containment measures—while minimizing business disruption.
Technical containment (fast, controlled)
Isolate hosts, revoke sessions, block IoCs, rotate credentials, close active vectors and prevent spread. Coordinated with IT/Cloud/DevOps.
Forensics & reconstruction (DFIR)
Preserve evidence, analyze logs/telemetry, rebuild the attack timeline, identify initial access and persistence, and assess true impact (including data).
Eradication & secure recovery
Clean-up, hardening, patching and control implementation. We validate that the threat is gone and restore services in planned waves.
Final report & lessons learned
Executive + technical reports, evidence pack, root cause, a 30/60/90 improvement plan, KPIs and recommendations to prevent recurrence.
Deliverables with authority and traceability
The goal isn’t a pretty PDF—it’s response that preserves evidence, accelerates closure and reduces recurrence. We deliver documentation useful for leadership, operations, audits and continuous improvement.
Executive report
Impact, decisions, residual risk, timeline and improvement roadmap.
Technical DFIR report
Timeline, evidence, IoCs, initial vector, persistence and actions executed.
Remediation plan
Prioritized backlog by risk/exposure, quick wins and structural measures.
Reporting support
Documentation and evidence useful for audits, compliance and internal communications.
Core technical capabilities
We operate across identity, endpoints, network, cloud and applications—prioritizing actions that stop impact fast, then investigation and eradication to restore safely.
For continuity, consider pairing with Business Continuity (BCP/DR) and Managed SOC (MDR) .
Want to be ready before the incident?
We propose a 24/7 retainer with onboarding, runbooks, SLAs and an activation channel. If it happens, we move fast. If it doesn’t, you still improve response readiness and security posture.
Typical organization package:
- Onboarding + role definition (RACI) and runbooks.
- Emergency channel + SLAs + criticality-based escalation.
- Containment, DFIR, eradication and secure recovery.
- Executive/technical reporting + 30/60/90 plan.
- Coordination with ITSM/CAB and SOC/MDR (when applicable).

Frequently asked questions
Can you work alongside our SOC/MDR or internal team?
Yes. We coordinate actions with your SOC/MDR, IT and Cloud teams. We define roles (RACI), escalation, evidence handling and a single workflow to avoid duplication or missed signals.
Do you operate in cloud and identity environments (M365/Entra ID)?
Yes. We handle cloud/identity incidents: token/session revocation, consent phishing analysis, IAM review, exfiltration route blocking and post-incident identity hardening.
How do you avoid disrupting the business during containment?
We use wave-based containment and pre-agreed thresholds. When actions may impact operations, we validate with your team and propose temporary compensating controls.
Do you offer a 24/7 retainer?
Yes. Recommended for high-criticality organizations. Includes onboarding, SLAs, an emergency channel, runbooks and immediate activation capacity.
Contain fast. Recover safely.
