Cipher Security delivers real-world incident response — not passive monitoring. When ransomware strikes, you need responders who act, not dashboards that alert.
Ransomware is a business-critical risk — not an IT inconvenience. Yet when an incident unfolds, most organisations discover critical gaps in their ability to respond.
During an active incident, teams lack the telemetry and context needed to understand what is happening, where, and how fast it is spreading.
Disconnected logging across identity, endpoint, and network creates blind spots that attackers exploit — and responders struggle to piece together.
Without a structured response capability, organisations cannot quickly determine what happened, how far it spread, or how to contain it effectively.
Cipher Security's incident response capability is structured around two delivery models — designed to meet organisations wherever they are in their readiness journey. Both are built around rapid investigation, containment, and recovery — not generic monitoring.
Prepared & Ready
Pre-positioned capability that ensures your environment is forensically ready and our team is on standby before an incident occurs.
Emergency Engagement
Immediate deployment when an incident is already underway — rapid triage, investigation, and hands-on containment from day one.
A retainer engagement positions Cipher Security as an extension of your team — with visibility, tooling, and forensic readiness already in place when you need it most.
Coverage across identity, endpoint, and network activity — structured to support rapid investigation from the moment an incident is declared.
Structured logging and data retention practices that ensure evidence is available and actionable when it counts.
Direct access to experienced incident responders — no queues, no escalation delays, no time wasted explaining your environment from scratch.
Detection and investigation capability specifically tuned for ransomware tactics — reducing uncertainty and accelerating response timelines.
When an incident is already underway, Cipher Security deploys immediately. Our reactive service is high-impact, high-urgency support designed to stabilise your environment and drive recovery as fast as possible.
Rapid activation with no delays — our team engages from the first call.
Rapid deployment of forensic tooling and data collection across affected systems.
Tracing entry points, lateral movement, and full scope of impact across your environment.
Clear, actionable guidance to contain the threat and restore operations with confidence.
The first 24 hours of a ransomware incident are decisive. Cipher Security follows a structured, outcome-focused response cadence to maximise speed and minimise damage.
We are not a traditional SOC. Cipher Security is a lean, expert-led team built specifically around incident response — with the depth and focus that generalist providers cannot match.
We focus on hands-on investigation and containment — not generating alerts for your team to interpret alone.
We can validate how attacks actually occur in your environment, closing the gap between theory and real-world exposure.
Response, testing, and resilience improvement are integrated — each engagement makes your organisation stronger.
Senior practitioners on every engagement. No junior analysts, no ticket queues — direct access to expertise when it matters.
Cipher Security engagements deliver measurable business outcomes — not just technical reports. Our clients leave with greater confidence, reduced risk, and a stronger security posture.
Reduced time from detection to containment — limiting operational disruption and financial exposure.
Structured response limits the blast radius of an incident and accelerates return to normal operations.
Leadership receives a clear, factual account of what occurred — supporting regulatory, legal, insurance, and board-level reporting.
Every engagement surfaces actionable improvements that reduce the likelihood and impact of future attacks.
Do you have forensic-ready logging across identity, endpoint, and network?
Could your team determine the entry point of an attack within hours?
Do you have a tested, structured incident response plan in place today?
Is there a named team ready to respond the moment an incident is declared?
Most organisations cannot confidently answer yes to all four questions. That gap is where ransomware actors operate — and where Cipher Security helps close the exposure.
A readiness conversation with our team takes less than an hour and provides a clear picture of where you stand and what needs to change.
