When Every Minute Counts

Without experienced responders, a breach compounds by the hour. Attackers dwell in your environment for days or weeks before detection. The decisions you make in the first 24 hours determine whether you recover in days — or spend six months rebuilding.

Binary Response operates 24/7 with practitioners who have resolved 100+ incidents across ransomware, BEC, APT intrusions, and data breaches. You speak to senior DFIR professionals from the first call — not a triage queue.

What We Handle

  • Ransomware — containment, scoping, recovery, and negotiation advisory
  • Business Email Compromise (BEC) — investigation, account lockdown, and financial recovery guidance
  • Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) — detection, eradication, and dwell-time analysis
  • Insider threat — covert investigation, evidence preservation, HR and legal liaison
  • Cloud incidents — M365, Azure, AWS, Google Workspace
  • Data breach scoping — identify what was accessed, by whom, and when
  • DDoS and extortion — crisis management and recovery

Our Methodology

Built on NIST SP 800-61 and SANS PICERL frameworks. Every engagement produces a documented, defensible chain of evidence that stands up to ICO, FCA, and courtroom scrutiny.

01
Triage
We scope the incident, identify affected systems and the attack vector, and set containment priorities.
02
Contain
We isolate affected systems and preserve evidence — stopping the spread without destroying your ability to recover.
03
Investigate
We examine endpoints, logs, network traffic, and cloud telemetry. You get root cause analysis and a complete attacker timeline.
04
Recover
We eradicate the threat, rebuild cleanly, validate recovery, and deliver a defensible post-incident report.

Deliverables

  • Executive incident summary your board can act on immediately
  • Technical forensic report with timeline, indicators of compromise (IoCs), and root cause
  • Evidence package that satisfies insurers, regulators, and legal proceedings
  • Remediation and hardening recommendations to prevent repeat attacks
  • Regulatory notification support (ICO, PRA, FCA where applicable)

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you respond?

Retainer clients reach a senior practitioner within 1–4 hours depending on tier. Ad-hoc clients are typically engaged within a few hours of first contact. Out-of-hours response is included — attackers don't respect business hours.

Do you work remotely or on-site?

Both. Most containment and investigation work starts remotely — it is faster and sufficient for most incidents. On-site deployment is available when you need physical access to systems or a visible presence for stakeholder confidence.

Can you work alongside our existing IT team?

Yes — and we regularly do. We establish clear lanes of work immediately so your team and ours aren't duplicating effort. We brief your team at each stage and hand back cleanly at the end.

What information do you need to get started?

A brief description of what you're seeing, contact details for your technical and business leads, and access to whatever logging or telemetry you have. We can work with limited visibility and build from there.

Will you handle communications with our insurer?

Yes. We work directly with major UK cyber insurers and know their documentation requirements. We brief your broker and provide the evidence package they need to process the claim without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a cyber incident?

Any event that compromises the confidentiality, integrity or availability of your systems or data. This includes ransomware attacks, business email compromise, unauthorised access, data exfiltration, insider threats and cloud security incidents. If something feels wrong, contact us — we can help you triage within minutes.

How quickly can you respond?

We aim to have a senior responder engaged within 1 hour of your initial contact. For retainer clients, guaranteed response times are even faster. Our team operates 24/7/365 across UK and international time zones.

Do we need to preserve evidence before calling you?

Ideally, yes — but don't let evidence preservation delay your call. The single most important thing is to avoid turning off or reimaging affected systems. We'll guide you through evidence preservation steps on the first call.

What's the difference between incident response and digital forensics?

Incident response is the full lifecycle — containment, eradication, recovery and lessons learned. Digital forensics is one component: the detailed technical investigation that determines what happened, when, and what data was affected. We provide both as part of our IR service.

Can you help with regulatory reporting?

Yes. We help organisations meet their ICO notification obligations under UK GDPR (typically within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach). We also support sector-specific reporting requirements for FCA, NHS and other regulated entities.
