DFIR & Incident Response

When an incident hits, minutes matter. CYSMIQ deploys rapidly to contain, investigate, and remediate — preserving evidence and minimising operational impact.

Our DFIR practice covers the full incident lifecycle: from triage and containment through forensic investigation, root-cause identification, and post-incident hardening. We work alongside your internal teams or operate independently as incident command.

We support both reactive response to active incidents and proactive IR readiness — tabletop exercises, playbook development, and retainer agreements so you're never starting from zero when it matters most.

IR Response Lifecycle
01
Detection & Triage Rapid assessment of incident scope, severity, and attack vector. Containment decisions within the first hour.
02
Containment Network isolation, account lockdowns, and immediate actions to stop the bleeding — without destroying evidence.
03
Forensic Investigation Deep-dive into logs, memory, disk, and network captures to reconstruct the attacker's full timeline.
04
Eradication Full removal of attacker presence, persistence mechanisms, and malicious artefacts.
05
Recovery & Hardening Guided return to operation with hardening applied to prevent recurrence.
06
Post-Incident Report Full forensic report and executive brief suitable for cyber insurance, regulators, and board use.
