Obtain peace of mind knowing that you can swiftly respond to the most sophisticated cyber attacks, with fortified defenses, and prevent future attacks.

An incident response retainer provides a proactive and strategic approach that can offer significant advantages for your company. A retainer ensures that a dedicated team is familiar with the organization’s systems, network architecture, and specific security challenges, allowing for a quicker and more targeted response in the event of a security incident.

There are many advantages to incorporating an IR retainer:

Dealing with a cybersecurity incident is inherently stressful. Knowing that an incident response team is on standby and ready to assist can alleviate a significant amount of stress for the organization’s leadership and IT personnel. This allows internal staff to focus on their primary responsibilities and daily operations without the added pressure of assembling an ad-hoc response team during a crisis. This leads to a more efficient, cost-effective, and stress-reducing approach to handling security incidents.

OP Innovate’s incident response retainer includes a well-defined SLA that outlines the agreed-upon terms and conditions, including response times, communication protocols, and the scope of services provided. This ensures a clear understanding between the organization and the incident response team, setting expectations and providing a basis for accountability. With a pre-established SLA, there is a commitment to rapid response and resolution, minimizing downtime and potential damage, ensuring that the incident is mitigated in minimum time.

The speed of response is critical during a security incident. With an incident response retainer, the response team is already familiar with the organization’s infrastructure, potential vulnerabilities, and existing security measures. This familiarity enables a faster and more targeted response to contain and mitigate the incident. Quick response times are crucial in preventing the escalation of an attack and minimizing its impact on the business.
