Incident Triage and Assessment
Review reported events, available indicators and initial evidence to help establish scope, urgency and next investigative steps.
Petabyte / Incident Response
When incidents happen, respond with clarity.
Cybersecurity incidents require coordinated investigation, containment decisions and recovery planning. Petabyte's Incident Response services help organisations assess reported events, investigate available evidence, coordinate response activities and identify lessons to strengthen future readiness.

Service Overview
Move from uncertainty to a structured response.
A suspected cyber incident can affect systems, business operations, sensitive information and stakeholder confidence. A structured response helps organisations establish what is known, assess potential impact and coordinate decisions based on available evidence.
Petabyte's Incident Response service supports incident triage, technical investigation, containment planning, recovery coordination and post-incident review within an agreed scope. Activities depend on the nature of the incident, available evidence, access and the response arrangements established with your organisation.
Our focus
Establish the facts. Coordinate the response. Learn from the incident.
Effective response depends on timely information, clear responsibilities and appropriate coordination between technical teams, management and other relevant stakeholders.
Service Capabilities
Incident response support across the response lifecycle.
Response activities can be tailored to the incident type, affected environment, organisational requirements and agreed engagement scope.
Digital Evidence Analysis
Examine available logs, system artefacts and relevant telemetry to support incident investigation and evidence-based conclusions.
Containment Planning
Evaluate response options and support containment decisions intended to limit further activity or operational impact.
Threat Removal Coordination
Support agreed eradication activities and remediation planning for identified malicious artefacts, access paths or weaknesses.
Recovery and Restoration Support
Help coordinate recovery considerations, validation activities and monitoring following agreed remediation steps.
Post-Incident Review
Document key observations, response lessons, contributing factors and opportunities to improve future preparedness.
Incident Response Lifecycle
A coordinated approach from detection to recovery.
Incident response is a structured process. Specific activities and sequencing may vary depending on the incident, evidence and operational requirements.
PHASE / 01
Prepare & Triage
Confirm the reported event, gather initial information, assess urgency and establish response priorities.
PHASE / 02
Investigate & Contain
Examine available evidence and coordinate appropriate actions to limit further impact.
PHASE / 03
Eradicate & Recover
Address identified causes and support agreed restoration and validation activities.
PHASE / 04
Review & Improve
Capture lessons, document findings and identify improvements to controls and response readiness.
Engagement Process
Clear coordination when every decision matters.
The response scope is established around the reported incident, available evidence, operational constraints and responsibilities agreed with your organisation.
01
Establish Scope and Context
Understand the incident report, affected systems, known indicators, business impact and immediate priorities.
02
Investigate and Assess
Review relevant evidence, analyse activity and document findings and uncertainties.
03
Coordinate Response Actions
Support agreed containment, remediation and recovery activities with the responsible teams.
04
Document and Improve
Provide relevant findings and recommendations to support follow-up, lessons learned and improved readiness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Incident response explained.
Answers to common questions about cyber incident investigation and response support.
What is incident response in cybersecurity?
Incident response is the organised process of identifying, investigating, containing and recovering from cybersecurity incidents. It also includes documenting lessons and improving future response readiness.
When should an organisation seek incident response support?
Support may be appropriate when suspicious activity, a potential compromise, ransomware, unauthorised access or another security event requires investigation. If an incident may be active, use your established emergency escalation process as well.
Does incident response include forensic investigation?
Evidence analysis may be included depending on the agreed scope, available data and technical requirements. Any specialised forensic acquisition, preservation or expert examination should be confirmed before the engagement.
Will the service include system recovery?
Recovery planning and coordination may be included. Actual restoration, rebuilds, backup recovery and operational validation depend on the incident, technical environment and agreed responsibilities.
Can incident response help after an incident has been resolved?
Yes. A post-incident review can help document findings, evaluate response activities and identify improvements to controls, monitoring, procedures and preparedness.
How can we prepare before an incident occurs?
Maintain an incident response plan, clear escalation contacts, suitable logging, backup and recovery procedures, and defined decision-making responsibilities. Petabyte can discuss assessment and preparedness needs through a scoped engagement.
