When an attack happens, response speed decides the outcome

Slow or poorly executed incident response lets attackers persist, destroys forensic evidence, and misses the regulatory deadlines that matter — including the ICO's 72-hour breach notification rule under UK GDPR.

We follow the NIST SP 800-61 lifecycle adapted for UK regulatory context: Preparation, Identification, Containment, Eradication, Recovery, and Lessons Learned. Retained clients receive a guaranteed 2-hour emergency response SLA with responders pre-briefed on their environment.

Common Questions

Questions about Incident Response

Contain the damage and get expert help immediately: isolate affected systems without switching them off, preserve evidence, and don't pay any ransom before taking advice. Email info@p2pdigitalservices.com with the subject "URGENT INCIDENT" for priority escalation.

Retained clients receive a guaranteed 2-hour emergency response SLA. Non-retained organisations are prioritised on request. An incident response retainer means you are not searching for a responder during an attack.

If a personal data breach is likely to risk individuals' rights and freedoms, UK GDPR requires notifying the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of it. We help you assess the breach, decide whether notification is needed and draft it.

Digital forensics is the evidence-preserving investigation of what happened during an incident: how attackers got in, what they accessed, and whether they are still present. It supports insurance claims, regulators and legal action.

Don't wait for the breach to find a responder

An IR retainer costs a fraction of ad-hoc emergency engagement — and guarantees a 2-hour response when minutes matter. Active incident? Email us with subject "URGENT INCIDENT".
