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.

The approach

03 · Three steps

  1. Retainer01

    Readiness

    Agree playbooks, contacts, escalation paths, and SLAs. Exercise the plan so first response is rehearsed.

  2. Incident02

    Response

    Contain, investigate, and recover. Technical leadership plus coordination with your executive and communications stakeholders.

  3. Aftermath03

    Lessons learned

    Post-incident review, evidence of cause, and a concrete hardening plan for controls and process.

Who it’s for

04

Foundation builders

No retained IR capability; need a named partner before an incident occurs.

Transformers

Growing attack surface; resilience and playbooks must catch up.

High-stakes moments

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.
