Incident Response Services

Stabilize first. Prove what happened. Recover clean.

Incident Response Led by Evidence, Not Guesswork

In an active incident, every move should preserve facts and reduce blast radius. Forgepath drives coordinated triage, forensic collection and analysis, containment planning, and recovery sequencing—across endpoints, identity, cloud, and SaaS. We document indicators, timelines, and scope; test containment options that won’t delete evidence; and guide clean rebuilds that prevent reinfection.

Typical focus areas include initial access vectors, privilege escalation and lateral movement, data access or exfiltration, control tampering (EDR/backup/policies), and persistence. Deliverables include a working timeline, affected-assets inventory, IOC/IOA packages, containment and eradication steps, and leader-ready summaries for internal and external stakeholders.

No chaos. Clear moves.

Inside Your Incident Response Service

From the first call to clean recovery, we turn uncertainty into a documented plan—decisions, evidence, actions, and outcomes.

Talk to An Expert

Stabilize without destroying evidence.

What we do: confirm symptoms and suspected scope, identify critical systems, and lay out safe containment options.
Why it matters: fast containment is useful only if it doesn’t erase artifacts needed for root cause analysis or legal obligations.
Outputs: a first-hour plan, comms cadence, and task owners.

Facts first—then conclusions.

What we do: capture volatile data (memory/network), disks or snapshots, cloud/SaaS artifacts, and key logs; maintain chain of custody.
How it works: tool-agnostic methods that fit your stack (EDR/XDR, SIEM, cloud audit, mailbox/tenant logs).
Outputs: a unified timeline, IOC/IOA packages, and evidence index.

Stop spread and remove footholds.

What we do: isolate assets, revoke sessions/tokens, rotate keys and secrets, block malicious identity changes, dismantle persistence.
How it works: minimize downtime with staged isolation, just-in-time privilege, and safe policy changes.
Outputs: step-by-step actions, rollback notes, and verification checks.

Answer the questions leadership will face.

What we do: analyze data touched or exfiltration indicators, identify affected parties or records, and map obligations.
How it works: correlate access logs, staging behaviors, and outbound traffic with data classification.
Outputs: impact summary suitable for legal, customer, and regulator discussions as applicable.

Return to steady state with confidence.

What we do: sequence rebuilds and restores, validate gold images and IaC, harden identity, and verify controls before reconnecting.
How it works: “clean-room” principles, immutable/isolated backups, and pre-production validation steps.
Outputs: recovery plan, acceptance tests, and post-recovery monitoring checklist.

Keep people informed—without noise.

What we do: set update cadence, maintain decisions log, prepare leader one-pagers, and coordinate with legal/privacy and vendors.
How it works: concise, timestamped briefs; clear requests for decisions; consistent status artifacts.
Outputs: executive summaries and reusable comms templates.
