Incident Response
Rapid, expert-led response to contain and recover from security incidents.
What this assessment covers.
When a security incident occurs, every minute counts. DERISK’s Incident Response service provides rapid, expert-led support to help your organisation detect, contain, eradicate, and recover from cybersecurity incidents with minimal disruption to your operations.
Our team works alongside your organisation to minimise impact, preserve forensic evidence, and restore normal operations as quickly as possible. We follow a structured methodology aligned with industry-standard incident response frameworks, ensuring every phase — from initial triage through post-incident review — is handled with precision and clear communication.
Whether you are facing a ransomware attack, data breach, business email compromise, or suspected intrusion, DERISK brings the expertise and calm under pressure needed to guide your organisation through the crisis and strengthen your defences against future incidents.
How we test.
A structured, expert-led methodology from initial reconnaissance through to real-time reporting and remediation guidance.
- 01
Initial Triage & Severity Assessment
We quickly assess the scope, severity, and nature of the incident to determine the appropriate response strategy and mobilise the right resources without delay.
- 02
Containment & Damage Control
We take immediate action to contain the incident — isolating affected systems, blocking attacker access, and preventing further spread while preserving forensic evidence.
- 03
Eradication & Threat Removal
We identify and remove all traces of the attacker’s presence — malware, backdoors, persistence mechanisms, and compromised accounts — to ensure the threat is fully eliminated.
- 04
Recovery & Restoration
We help restore affected systems and services to normal operation, validating that they are clean, secure, and free from residual compromise before bringing them back online.
- 05
Root Cause Analysis & Post-Incident Review
We conduct a thorough analysis to determine how the incident occurred, what controls failed, and what improvements are needed to prevent recurrence, delivered as a detailed post-incident report.
- 06

All incident details, timelines, and remediation recommendations are documented and delivered in a comprehensive professional PDF report for your team to review and action.

Incident Response questions.
How quickly can you respond to an active incident?
Contact us immediately on +971 4 547 0666 or info@d3risk.ai. Response timelines depend on whether a retainer is in place; retained clients get a guaranteed mobilisation window agreed in advance.
What should we do before you arrive?
Preserve evidence: do not wipe or rebuild affected systems, do not power them down if they can be isolated instead, and capture logs before retention windows expire. Isolate affected hosts from the network and document what you have already changed.
Do you offer incident response retainers?
Yes. A retainer secures mobilisation time and means the responders already understand your environment when it matters. Talk to us about scoping one before you need it.
What do we receive at the end?
A timeline of the incident, root cause analysis, the indicators of compromise observed, containment and eradication actions taken, and prioritised recommendations to close the paths that were used.
