Incident Preparedness Fixed Fee
Clients frequently ask us how they should prepare to respond to cybersecurity incidents. We developed our Incident Response Preparedness Fixed Fee to help answer that important question.
Our Incident Preparedness Fixed Fee guides clients through the most important legal steps for preparing to respond to the security incident. The fixed-fee services leverage our first-hand experience responding to hundreds of cyber incidents, including enterprise ransomware attacks, sophisticated state-sponsored campaigns, and multimillion-dollar business email compromises—all at predictable fixed-fee pricing.
Our Incident Preparedness Fixed Fee includes these four essential services:
A clear, actionable IRP is crucial to successful incident response. Unfortunately, many companies' IRPs are voluminous and provide little actionable guidance for responding to real incidents.
We will review your IRP and help you transform it into a practical, streamlined document that can meaningfully guide you to respond to a real cyber incident. In our experience, the best IRPs are tactical, focusing on actionable elements like incident severity levels, assessment checklists, escalation points, and roles and responsibilities.
A great IRP is only useful if your response team knows how to use it. Drawing on our experience responding to an array of cyber incidents across many sectors, we will guide you through a realistic cyber incident simulation to put your IRP—and your incident response team—to the test. These collaborative exercises are an engaging way to identify gaps in your incident response processes, educate your incident response team, and work through potential barriers to effective response.
When you've discovered that bad actors may have infiltrated your systems, time is of the essence. Working closely with your legal counsel, you need to onboard expert forensic investigators and cyber incident response professionals as soon as possible to help contain the threat, secure your network, preserve crucial evidence, and investigate how the attack occurred. Time spent wondering which vendors are best suited to help you and how you can onboard them is vital time wasted.
We will help you pre-engage the vendors you will need to onboard rapidly in the event of a cyber incident. Should a cyber incident occur, you will be able to leverage an established, trigger-ready plan for onboarding the expertise you and your attorneys will need to respond, contain, and investigate quickly.
Managing internal communications is one of the most important—and most difficult—aspects of responding to a cyber incident. Communications needs are varied. You must enable your incident response team to communicate openly and rapidly about the incident and your response, while taking care to preserve the attorney-client privilege and attorney work product.
We will help you develop practical communications protocols to address these complex needs. Those protocols will include essential guidance on structuring your response to facilitate effective response team communications while safeguarding sensitive information and invoking discovery privileges from the outset of your response.
