Incident Response


During an attack, the speed of your response can be the difference between a minor inconvenience and an expensive, painful, and damaging breach. However, not all businesses think this far ahead, with many hoping that their Managed Service Provider will take care of it.

Having a robust incident response plan is crucial but this requires strategic thinking, planning and risk management techniques that only a few MSPs (Managed Service Providers) like Orca, can provide.

As important as it is to put preventative measures in place to strengthen your defences, it’s equally vital to understand the significance of having an incident response (IR) plan ready. Remember, there are no systems that are completely bulletproof.

If your MSP says you’re bulletproof – they’ve just made the first mistake unfortunately. This is never a true statement to make. You can have good, strong defences, but nothing is absolutely 100% impenetrable.

We recommend that you review your IR plan regularly with your MSP and develop this constantly to match the ever-changing threat landscape.

Effective IR requires a systematic, methodical approach to mitigate the impact of attacks, and we can help develop this with you, to include:

  • Detection
  • Investigation
  • Containment
  • Eradication
  • Recovery
  • Post-incident review
