Data incident response

Data breach? Contain the impact and regain control

We help secure the environment, establish the scope of exposure and implement remediation without destroying evidence needed for analysis.

We analyse accounts, logs, applications, integrations and data flows. We separate confirmed facts from hypotheses, restrict further access and prepare a technical remediation and monitoring plan.

  • Contain active access and preserve relevant evidence
  • Assess the source, scope and potentially affected data
  • Audit security, remediate weaknesses and plan ongoing monitoring
In brief

Data breach response combines technical containment, preservation of logs and other evidence, identification of affected accounts, systems and data flows, root-cause remediation and a documented recovery plan. We confirm the achievable scope after a safe initial report and review of available evidence.

What to do after discovering a possible data breach

Reduce further risk without destroying the information needed to reconstruct the incident.

  • Restrict the suspicious account, key, integration or public resource without deleting logs.
  • Preserve logs, alerts, timestamps and a record of actions already taken.
  • Do not send leaked files, passwords or complete personal data through ordinary email or this form.
  • Assign an incident contact and list the systems, suppliers and data categories that may be involved.

Do not delete accounts, logs or environments before preserving them. Use the form only for context — never include personal data, secrets, keys or leaked material.

Containment, analysis and an actionable remediation plan

We tailor the scope to the data, systems and evidence available. Every phase produces a documented outcome.

Triage and containment

We assess severity, active risk and dependencies, then help close confirmed paths of continued access.

Log and evidence preservation

We identify the logs, alerts, configurations and activity records that should be preserved before changes are made.

Scope and data-flow analysis

We identify systems, accounts, integrations and data categories that may be affected, including visibility gaps.

Access and secrets audit

We review accounts, roles, tokens, API keys, authentication controls and unnecessary permissions.

Vulnerability and configuration audit

We review plausible entry paths, configuration weaknesses, public resources and application or infrastructure controls.

Remediation, hardening and monitoring

We implement agreed fixes, strengthen configuration, organise access and define alerts and follow-up observation.

Systems, data and identity in one incident view

The technical scope can include first-party applications and supplier services where suitable access and logs are available.

Cloud and SaaS

AWS, Azure, hosting services, shared resources, backups, configuration and activity logs.

Applications, APIs and databases

Web applications, online stores, API endpoints, integrations, data exports and database access.

Accounts and identity

SSO, MFA, roles, privileged accounts, sessions, tokens and the access lifecycle.

CRM, helpdesk and team tools

Systems holding customer or employee data, files, correspondence and action history.

Clear stages from initial report to stronger controls

Priorities can change during an active incident, but ownership and the outcome of each stage remain defined.

Safe intake and triage

We confirm the contact, symptoms, severity, systems and available logs, then establish a secure exchange channel.

Containment and evidence preservation

We help restrict active access, preserve material for analysis and maintain an action log.

Analysis and security audit

We establish the most likely timeline, affected scope and underlying weaknesses while recording gaps and confidence levels.

Remediation and observation

We implement agreed controls, test critical workflows and deliver findings, open risks and a monitoring plan.

FAQ

Can you confirm exactly what data was exposed?

We analyse available logs, configuration and evidence to define the confirmed and possible scope. Where the evidence is incomplete, we document gaps and confidence rather than guess.

Should we shut down every system immediately?

Not always. Isolation can reduce harm, but an unplanned shutdown can destroy evidence and stop the business. We assess active risk and choose the least destructive containment method.

Do you only investigate website data breaches?

No. We also support cloud services, company accounts, custom applications, APIs, CRM, helpdesk, databases and integrations within the available log and access scope.

Will you notify an authority or affected customers?

We provide technical findings to support an assessment. Formal duties and notification wording should be agreed with a data protection officer or legal counsel; formal handling requires a separate agreement.

What will we receive at the end?

A report covering confirmed findings, completed work, investigation limits, open risks and a prioritised remediation, hardening and monitoring plan.
