Incident Response Assessment

Cyber threats evolve daily, and a well-prepared response can mean the difference between swift recovery and costly downtime.

Our Incident Response Assessment Service evaluates your readiness to detect, contain, and recover from security incidents. Through a detailed review of your processes, tools, and team capabilities, we identify gaps and provide actionable recommendations to strengthen resilience and ensure compliance with industry best practices.

Our service is designed to give you a clear, actionable understanding of your ability to respond to cyber threats. We go beyond surface-level checks by reviewing your policies, processes, technologies, and team readiness against industry best practices and compliance frameworks. From identifying gaps and simulating real-world attack scenarios to delivering a prioritised improvement roadmap, our services ensure you are prepared to detect, contain, and recover from incidents swiftly and effectively. Our services include –

Incident Response Plan Review

We examine your existing incident response plan to ensure it aligns with industry best practices and regulatory requirements. Our review identifies gaps in processes, roles, and communication strategies, providing actionable recommendations to strengthen your overall readiness.

Gap Analysis and Risk Assessment

We perform a gap analysis to identify weaknesses in your incident response processes, technologies, and team capabilities. Our risk assessment prioritizes these gaps based on potential impact, giving you a clear roadmap to reduce exposure and strengthen resilience.

Threat Scenario Simulation

We simulate real-world cyberattack scenarios through tabletop exercises and controlled drills to test your team’s readiness. These simulations reveal gaps in detection, escalation, and response workflows, helping you improve coordination and decision-making under pressure.

Technology and Tool Evaluation

We assess the effectiveness of your current security technologies, including SIEM, EDR, and SOAR solutions, to ensure they support rapid incident detection and response. Our evaluation identifies integration gaps and optimisation opportunities to enhance your overall security posture.

Compliance and Regulatory Alignment

We review your incident response processes to ensure they meet industry standards and regulatory requirements such as NIST, ISO 27001, and GDPR. Our assessment helps you maintain compliance while strengthening your security posture against evolving threats.

Roles and Responsibilities Review

We analyse your incident response structure to ensure roles and responsibilities are clearly defined and understood across your organisation. This review eliminates ambiguity in escalation paths and decision-making, enabling faster, more coordinated responses during a cyber incident.

Communication and Reporting Assessment

We evaluate your internal and external communication strategies to ensure timely, accurate, and compliant reporting during an incident. This includes reviewing escalation protocols, stakeholder notifications, and regulatory breach reporting requirements to minimise confusion and delays.

Incident Documentation and Evidence Handling

We review your procedures for documenting incidents and preserving digital evidence to ensure forensic integrity and legal defensibility. Our assessment helps you establish clear protocols for accurate record-keeping and secure evidence management throughout the response process.

Metrics & KPIs for IR Performance

We define and review key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the effectiveness of your incident response processes. These metrics provide actionable insights for continuous improvement, ensuring you responds faster and more efficiently to future threats.

Actionable Recommendations & Roadmap

We deliver a prioritised roadmap with clear, actionable steps to close gaps and strengthen your incident response capabilities. This plan provides short-term fixes and long-term strategies to enhance resilience and align with industry best practices.

Expert-Led Assessment

Our cybersecurity specialists bring deep expertise in incident response, leveraging proven frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001 to deliver accurate, actionable insights.

Comprehensive Coverage

We go beyond basic checks, evaluating policies, processes, technologies, and team readiness to ensure a holistic view of your incident response capability.

Actionable Roadmap

Instead of generic advice, we provide a prioritised improvement plan tailored to your business, helping you strengthen resilience quickly and effectively.

Compliance & Risk Reduction

Our assessment ensures alignment with regulatory requirements and industry best practices, reducing legal, financial, and reputational risks.
