How we run every recovery

A consistent cadence keeps incidents controlled. Here is the rhythm clients rely on across industries.

High-touch triage

Incident leads are in your Slack/Teams within minutes, coordinating with hosting, registrar, and ad platforms so everyone hears one plan.

Real-time clarity

You get living documents: timeline, attack surface map, and remediation log updated twice daily—no status guessing.

Handover that sticks

We leave your teams with hardening backlog, ownership matrix, and post-incident briefing tailored for executives and engineers alike.

Insights from the field

Every recovery adds playbook improvements. These are the guiding truths we share with every client team.

Attackers target weak automation first—locking down CI/CD and deployment pipelines is non-negotiable.

Communication cadence beats heroics. Fast, honest updates calm leadership and unlock access.

Recovery without hardening is a revolving door. Every engagement ends with preventative controls mapped to owners.
