SCOPED BY SOW / QUARTER-HOUR BILLING / THE PERSON YOU VET IS THE PERSON ON THE KEYBOARD
01Incident Response & Digital ForensicsHands-on response to active breaches, as overflow capacity for IR firms or directly for the affected business — triage, scoping, containment, and eradication across EDR and hybrid environments. Host and cloud forensic examinations with documented chain of custody, producing findings that hold up in litigation and regulatory response. Detections built from the case are handed off at close-out. Retainer or per-incident.
02Vulnerability AssessmentIndependent third-party vulnerability assessment — network and web application — delivered as a CVSS-ranked findings report with a prioritized remediation roadmap. Built for small and mid-sized organizations that need credible, outside validation of their security posture to support cyber-insurance applications, vendor security reviews, and framework readiness efforts (SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC). You get more than a scanner's output: findings interpreted by an incident responder who has seen how these weaknesses get exploited in real breaches, with clear guidance on what to fix first.

What to include

  • Which path above — active incident response and forensics, or a scheduled vulnerability assessment
  • Rough timeline, and whether you are engaging under counsel
  • For an assessment, what is in scope and what is driving it — insurance, a vendor review, or framework readiness

Keep first contact to scope and timeline. Don't send incident detail, indicators, or privileged material by email — we move to a secure channel under NDA before any of that changes hands.
