The average cost of a data breach is $4.88M. 60% of small businesses close within 6 months of a cyber attack.

Incident response is the organized approach to addressing and managing the aftermath of a security breach or cyberattack. BRITECITY's incident response team helps Orange County businesses contain threats, investigate breaches, and restore operations with minimal downtime.

BRITECITY Incident Response Process

  1. Immediate Detection (Hour 0) - Our 24/7 MDR monitoring detects the threat and alerts the incident response team immediately.
  2. Threat Containment (Hours 1-4) - We isolate affected systems, preserve forensic evidence, and prevent lateral movement of the attack.
  3. Insurance Activation (Hours 4-24) - Your cyber insurance carrier is notified; they assign a breach coach, forensic investigators, and legal counsel.
  4. Investigation and Recovery (Days 1-7) - Forensic teams determine the attack scope while systems are cleaned and restored to operation.
  5. Notification and Compliance (Days 7-30) - Required parties are notified, regulatory filings submitted, and credit monitoring offered if needed.
  6. Return to Normal Operations (Day 30+) - Business operations resume with strengthened security posture and lessons learned implemented.

What is BRITECITY's incident response process?

Here's what actually happens when a cyber attack hits your business—and who gets involved.

Hour 0

The Attack Hits

Ransomware encrypts your files, a data breach is discovered, or systems go down. Your business operations grind to a halt.

Hours 1-4

Incident Response Activates

BRITECITY's MDR team is alerted immediately. We begin containment, preserve evidence, and assess the scope of the attack.

Hours 4-24

Your Insurance Engages

Your cyber insurance carrier is notified. They assign a breach coach, forensic investigators, and legal counsel to your case.

Days 1-7

Investigation & Recovery

Forensic teams determine what happened. Legal teams assess notification requirements. Systems are cleaned and restored.

Days 7-30

Notification & Compliance

If required, affected parties are notified. Regulatory filings are submitted. Credit monitoring may be offered to victims.

Day 30+

Back to Business

Operations resume. Lessons learned are implemented. Security posture is strengthened. Insurance claims are settled.

Why is fast incident response critical?

Every Minute Counts

Attackers can exfiltrate data, encrypt systems, and spread laterally within minutes. Fast containment limits the blast radius and reduces recovery costs.

Evidence Preservation

Forensic evidence degrades quickly. Immediate response preserves logs, memory artifacts, and attack indicators needed for investigation and legal proceedings.

Regulatory Compliance

Many regulations require breach notification within 72 hours. Quick detection and response ensures you meet legal deadlines and avoid penalties.

Business Continuity

The average business interruption from a cyber attack costs $1.3M. Rapid response minimizes downtime and gets your operations back online faster.
