Incident Response & Digital Forensics
Incident response retainers, digital forensics, and crisis exercises.
The situation
01
Incident response capability has to exist before an incident. Without playbooks, retained capacity, and pre-agreed commercial terms, the first hours are spent on contracting and improvisation.
Difaa provides incident response (IR) retainers, digital forensics and incident response (DFIR), containment and recovery leadership, and crisis exercises, including executive and cabinet-level tabletops where required.
What you get
02
- IR retainer with defined response SLAs
- Digital forensics and root-cause analysis
- Containment, eradication, and recovery leadership
- Tabletop and crisis exercises (including executive level)
- Post-incident review and hardening recommendations
- Pre-agreed commercial terms so response starts immediately
The approach
03 · Three steps
- Retainer01
Readiness
Agree playbooks, contacts, escalation paths, and SLAs. Exercise the plan so first response is rehearsed.
- Incident02
Response
Contain, investigate, and recover. Technical leadership plus coordination with your executive and communications stakeholders.
- Aftermath03
Lessons learned
Post-incident review, evidence of cause, and a concrete hardening plan for controls and process.
Who it’s for
04
No retained IR capability; need a named partner before an incident occurs.
Growing attack surface; resilience and playbooks must catch up.
Critical national or enterprise services where downtime or breach has systemic impact.
What clients do next
05
Most clients put a retainer in place and run an initial tabletop within weeks. If you are in an active incident, use the incident intake immediately; retainer scoping can follow containment.
Next step
Scope an IR retainer.
Define your estate and risk profile. We will propose retainer SLAs and readiness activities.
