Managed Services
Every second counts when faced with a cyber attack. PureCyber’s comprehensive Incident Respone Service is designed to provide critical support to organisations when they need it most.
YOUR CHALLENGES
Increased Cyber Threats and Sophisticated Attacks
With cyber threats constantly evolving, businesses face increasingly sophisticated attacks like ransomware and phishing that can bypass security measures. Potentially causing severe disruptions and financial losses.
Lack of In-house Expertise
Many organisations lack the specialised cybersecurity expertise needed to handle complex incidents. Without a dedicated team, businesses may struggle to quickly identify and contain threats, leading to prolonged downtime and increased risk
Regulatory Compliance and Reporting
Businesses must adhere to strict regulatory frameworks that require prompt reporting and response to security incidents. Failure to comply can result in legal penalties and reputational damage.
What is Incident Response?
Incident Response is where the PureCyber team analyses, responds to, and mitigates the effects of a security incident. This involves identifying the scope and nature of the breach, containing the threat, eradicating it from the system, and recovering affected systems and data. The investigation phase focuses on understanding how the incident occurred, what was impacted, and gathering evidence to prevent future occurrences. The goal is to minimise damage, restore normal operations, and prevent similar incidents in the future.
Why is Incident Response important?
Rapid Threat Mitigation
Incident response services quickly contain and eliminate cyber threats, minimising damage and downtime from sophisticated attacks.
Expert Knowledge Access
Gain instant access to cybersecurity experts who efficiently manage incidents, alleviating the burden on in-house teams.
Regulatory Compliance Support
Ensure timely and accurate incident reporting, helping to meet regulatory requirements and avoid legal and reputational risks.
Situation
A financial services firm fell victim to a sophisticated phishing attack where several employees inadvertently disclosed their login credentials. The attackers gained unauthorised access to sensitive financial data and customer accounts.
Challenge
The firm faced significant risks, including potential financial loss, regulatory penalties, and damage to its reputation. The internal IT team lacked the resources to handle the incident quickly and effectively.

Incident Response Solution
The incident response service was engaged to conduct a rapid assessment and containment of the breach. The team quickly identified compromised accounts, secured access points, and worked with the firm’s IT department to reset credentials and reinforce security protocols. They also conducted a thorough forensic investigation to determine the scope of the breach and assess any data exfiltration.
Outcome
The breach was contained within 24 hours, and no financial loss occurred. The firm was able to meet regulatory reporting obligations, avoid fines, and maintain client trust by demonstrating a quick and effective response to the incident.

PureCyber has a number of members of staff who have previously worked in this field and have historically held a range of Digital Forensics and Incident Response and Investigation certifications.
Currently PureCyber offer Incident Response services, these differ slightly from Digital forensics when it comes to forensic integrity of the evidence obtained; Incident Response is normally focused on returning an business to normality as soon as possible, whilst undertaking an investigation as a second priority; PureCyber are able to deliver Incident Response whilst preserving the Chain of Custody and Evidential Integrity, however this will come with the increased response time and associated costs.
