Incident Response Retainers
Why a Retainer
Once a cyber attack happens, it doesn’t stop – causing minute-to-minute damage. So retainer means: A security agreement that is ready in advance, so that the response can begin immediately when an incident occurs – without paperwork, approvals, and delays.
Teams system access and credentials are already stored in a secure vault - there is no delay in gaining access in case of a breach.
What to do if an attack is detected in the first 60 minutes - step-by-step checklist, who to contact, everything predefined.
Practice simulations are done every 3 months so that execution in real attack is fast and recovery is tested.
What’s Included
Retainer plans come in different tiers, but all have the same main focus: Clean and verified recovery, insurer-approved evidence. You can simply choose the SLA (response speed) and response credits according to our risk level.
- First-hour remote containment: When an attack is detected, the remote team starts working immediately in the first hour.
- Evidence binder: A documented record of every incident and recovery process is maintained.
- Annual program review: A full security review is conducted once a year, in which improvement steps for the next 30, 60, and 90 days are defined.

Tiers & SLAs
This retainer is available in 3 tiers, the difference being mainly response time and incident credits. The organization can choose the plan according to its risk and urgency. All tiers have one more benefit:- If the breach is large or additional support is required, each tier can be expanded with additional credits in times of crisis.
