Incident Response Plans

We build actionable Incident Response Plans that help your business detect, contain, and recover from cyberattacks—minimizing damage and downtime.

Brief Description Of Our Network Penetration Test

Our Incident Response Plans aren’t just documents that collect dust—they’re living playbooks designed to keep your business operational when disaster strikes. At Erebus Operation, we go beyond templates by tailoring response strategies to your specific environment, simulating real-world attacks, and training your team to react under pressure. From ransomware outbreaks to insider threats, our plans ensure your staff know exactly who does what, when, and how. And because preparation means nothing without validation, every engagement includes a complimentary 30-day retest exercise to confirm your defenses and responses are stronger than before.

Network Penetration Test Deliverables

1. Custom-Built Incident Response Playbook

A tailored step-by-step plan based on your business, technology stack, and risk profile—not a copy-paste template.

2. Role & Responsibility Mapping

Clear assignments for executives, IT, security staff, HR, and communications, so everyone knows exactly what to do during an incident.

3. Escalation & Decision Trees

Visual flowcharts showing who to contact, how to escalate, and when to involve external parties (law enforcement, legal, regulators, clients).

4. Threat-Specific Response Guides

Detailed procedures for ransomware, phishing, insider threats, DDoS, cloud breaches, and data exfiltration—so responses are fast and precise.

5. Communications Framework

Pre-built templates for notifying employees, customers, partners, regulators, and even the media—helping you stay compliant while protecting your reputation.

6. Tabletop Exercises & Simulations

We run live, scenario-based tests with your team to validate the plan, expose gaps, and build confidence under pressure.

7. Integration with Existing Tools

We align your IRP with your SIEM, logging, EDR, and monitoring platforms so the plan works seamlessly with what you already use.

8. Legal & Compliance Mapping

We ensure your plan meets requirements for PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or GDPR—helping you avoid fines and failed audits.

9. Forensic Readiness Checklist

Guidelines on evidence collection and preservation, ensuring that if you face litigation or law enforcement involvement, you’re prepared.

10. Business Continuity Alignment

We tie the IRP into your backup, disaster recovery, and continuity strategies—so recovery isn’t just technical, but operational.

11. After-Action & Lessons Learned Templates

Standardized reporting for post-incident reviews, helping you measure impact, refine defenses, and prove improvements to leadership.

12. Executive & Staff Training Session

Practical training to ensure technical and non-technical staff understand their role and can respond effectively.

13. 30-Day Complimentary Retest Exercise

We return within 30 days to re-run scenarios and validate improvements, ensuring your team’s readiness is not theoretical but proven.

Who Need Our Penetration Test

The truth is—every organization that uses technology needs an Incident Response Plan. Cyberattacks aren’t just aimed at Fortune 500s; small and mid-sized businesses are prime targets because they’re easier to hit and slower to recover. If your company stores customer data, processes payments, manages intellectual property, or simply relies on email to function, a single breach can cripple operations within hours. Without a plan, most businesses panic, lose precious time, and make costly mistakes—sometimes paying ransoms or suffering reputational damage they never recover from. Compliance-driven industries like healthcare, finance, and retail are especially at risk, since regulators expect not just detection but proof of a documented response strategy. The bottom line: if you couldn’t afford days of downtime, public embarrassment, or lost clients, then you don’t just need an Incident Response Plan—you’re already at risk without one.
