How it works
Immediate Containment
We close probable entry points and isolate compromised systems within hours, even before the full attack path is mapped. The priority is stopping lateral movement and data exfiltration.
Parallel Investigation and Forensics
While containment is underway, our DFIR team begins evidence preservation, log analysis, malware reverse engineering, and attack timeline reconstruction using ShadowMap for external threat intelligence.
Recovery, Reporting, and Hardening
We handle CERT-In 6-hour notifications, concurrent RBI and SEBI filings, ransomware negotiation where needed, system recovery, and deliver a comprehensive post-incident assessment with hardening recommendations.
What Is Cyber Incident Response?
Cyber incident response is the structured process of detecting, containing, investigating, and recovering from a cybersecurity breach or attack. It includes digital forensics to determine how the breach occurred, what data was affected, and what steps are needed to prevent recurrence and satisfy regulatory reporting obligations.
Incident Types We Handle
From ransomware crises to insider threats, our DFIR team has handled it all
Ransomware Response and Recovery
Containment, negotiation assessment, decryption feasibility analysis, backup recovery, and full system restoration.
Data Breach Investigation
Identify scope of data exposure, determine exfiltration methods, preserve evidence for legal and regulatory proceedings.
Business Email Compromise
Email account takeover analysis, lateral compromise assessment, financial fraud impact determination.
Insider Threat Investigation
User activity forensics, privilege abuse analysis, data theft detection with chain-of-custody evidence preservation.
Advanced Persistent Threat Containment
Detect persistent backdoors, map attacker infrastructure, eliminate footholds across network and cloud environments.

Methodology
7 steps. Zero guesswork.
Every engagement follows this process through Lemon, our proprietary audit management platform.
Triage and Rapid Mobilization
Within the first hour of engagement, our IR lead conducts a triage call to assess the nature, scope, and severity of the incident. We establish secure communication channels, identify key stakeholders, and mobilize the response team. ShadowMap is immediately deployed against the organization's external footprint to identify exposed assets, leaked credentials, and dark web chatter that may be related to the incident.
Immediate Containment
We close likely entry points early based on initial triage findings, even before the full attack path is reconstructed. This includes isolating compromised systems, revoking compromised credentials, blocking malicious IPs and domains, and deploying emergency firewall rules. The goal is to stop active data exfiltration and prevent lateral movement while preserving forensic evidence.
Evidence Preservation and Collection
Forensic images of affected systems are captured following chain-of-custody protocols. We collect and centralize logs from endpoints, servers, network devices, cloud services, email platforms, and security tools. Evidence handling follows standards acceptable for regulatory submissions and, where necessary, legal proceedings.
Deep Forensic Investigation
Our DFIR team performs timeline reconstruction, malware analysis, log correlation, and attack path mapping. We determine the initial compromise vector, map all attacker activity across the environment, identify all affected systems and data, and establish the complete scope of the breach. ShadowMap intelligence enriches the investigation with external context including dark web exposure, credential leaks, and related threat actor activity.
Regulatory Notification and Compliance
Security Brigade takes full ownership of CERT-In 6-hour incident notification requirements. We prepare and submit notifications with accurate technical detail, and concurrently handle RBI and SEBI notifications for regulated entities. Our team has deep experience with Indian regulatory reporting formats and timelines, ensuring your organization meets all statutory obligations without diverting your internal team from recovery efforts.
Eradication and Recovery
Once the attack path is fully mapped, we systematically remove all attacker footholds including backdoors, persistence mechanisms, compromised accounts, and malicious code. For ransomware incidents, this includes decryption assessment, negotiation support where appropriate, and backup-based recovery planning. Systems are hardened before being brought back online.
Post-Incident Assessment
After containment and recovery, we deliver a comprehensive post-incident assessment — what we call the B-52 assessment. This includes a complete attack narrative, root cause analysis, gap analysis of security controls that failed, specific hardening recommendations, and a prioritized remediation roadmap. The assessment is delivered in both executive and technical formats to serve leadership, IT, and compliance teams.
"I've bought penetration tests from five firms over the last decade. The difference with Security Brigade is that quality isn't dependent on who walks through the door. Their platform enforces the methodology, their senior reviewers catch what juniors miss, and the final report is something you can hand to an enterprise customer's security team without embarrassment. That's rare."

Quality Assurance
Forensic Rigor: Why Our Findings Stand Up to Scrutiny
Every investigation follows chain-of-custody protocols and multi-layer validation
Incident response findings may end up in boardroom presentations, regulatory submissions, insurance claims, or legal proceedings. Security Brigade ensures every piece of forensic evidence is collected, documented, and validated with the rigor required for all of these audiences. Our L1/L2/L3 review process applies to incident response just as it does to our security assessments — no finding is reported without senior validation, and no root cause determination is made without corroborating evidence.
L1 Forensic Analyst
Performs evidence collection, log analysis, malware analysis, and initial timeline reconstruction with detailed documentation.
L2 Senior DFIR Consultant
Reviews forensic methodology, validates attack path reconstruction, identifies investigation gaps, and ensures evidence completeness.
L3 Security Architect
Final validation of root cause determination, impact assessment accuracy, and remediation recommendation quality before delivery.
