We build actionable Incident Response Plans that help your business detect, contain, and recover from cyberattacks—minimizing damage and downtime.
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.
A tailored step-by-step plan based on your business, technology stack, and risk profile—not a copy-paste template.
Clear assignments for executives, IT, security staff, HR, and communications, so everyone knows exactly what to do during an incident.
Visual flowcharts showing who to contact, how to escalate, and when to involve external parties (law enforcement, legal, regulators, clients).
Detailed procedures for ransomware, phishing, insider threats, DDoS, cloud breaches, and data exfiltration—so responses are fast and precise.
Pre-built templates for notifying employees, customers, partners, regulators, and even the media—helping you stay compliant while protecting your reputation.
We run live, scenario-based tests with your team to validate the plan, expose gaps, and build confidence under pressure.
We align your IRP with your SIEM, logging, EDR, and monitoring platforms so the plan works seamlessly with what you already use.
We ensure your plan meets requirements for PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or GDPR—helping you avoid fines and failed audits.
Guidelines on evidence collection and preservation, ensuring that if you face litigation or law enforcement involvement, you’re prepared.
We tie the IRP into your backup, disaster recovery, and continuity strategies—so recovery isn’t just technical, but operational.
Standardized reporting for post-incident reviews, helping you measure impact, refine defenses, and prove improvements to leadership.
Practical training to ensure technical and non-technical staff understand their role and can respond effectively.
We return within 30 days to re-run scenarios and validate improvements, ensuring your team’s readiness is not theoretical but proven.
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.
An Incident Response Plan is a documented, step-by-step playbook that guides your team on how to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents quickly and effectively.
Because every organization—large or small—will eventually face a cyber incident. Without a plan, most companies lose precious time scrambling, which increases downtime, costs, and reputational damage.
IT policies outline how systems should be used and managed. An IRP is action-oriented, telling your staff exactly what to do the moment something goes wrong.
Incidents can include ransomware, phishing, insider threats, data breaches, denial-of-service attacks, cloud compromises, and even physical breaches that impact IT systems.
At least annually, or whenever there are major changes in technology, staff, compliance requirements, or business operations.
