Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most. Still unsure how it applies to your environment? Our engineers are happy to talk it through.

We are currently under a cyberattack. How fast can your Canadian Incident Response team deploy?
If you are experiencing an active breach, time is critical. Our Emergency Incident Response Hotline is available 24/7/365. Once you contact us, our elite Canadian based IR team initiates containment strategies within 15 minutes. We can deploy remote forensic tools immediately and, if necessary, have on-site experts at your Canadian location within hours to stabilize your infrastructure.
What is your process for containing a Ransomware attack or Data Breach?
We follow a strict, battle-tested framework aligned with NIST and CCCS (Canadian Centre for Cyber Security) standards:

• Identification & Triage: Pinpointing the entry point and scope of the attack.

• Containment: Isolating affected systems to prevent the malware or hacker from spreading.

• Eradication: Removing threats, web shells, and malicious code from your network.

• Recovery & Restoration: Safely restoring your systems from clean, secure backups.

• Post Incident Analysis: Hardening your defenses so the same vulnerability cannot be exploited again.
Does your Incident Response service assist with PIPEDA and provincial mandatory breach reporting?
Yes. Under PIPEDA and provincial laws (like Quebec’s Law 25 or Alberta’s PIPA), Canadian businesses are legally required to report material data breaches to the Privacy Commissioner and affected individuals. Our digital forensics team provides the exact technical documentation, timeline of the breach, and data impact assessment required by Canadian regulators, helping you avoid heavy non-compliance penalties.
Can you work alongside our Cyber Insurance provider?
Absolutely. We work seamlessly with major cyber insurance carriers across Canada. We document every step of the investigation, preserve digital forensics evidence according to legal standards, and maintain chain of custody. This meticulous reporting ensures your insurance claims process goes smoothly and meets all forensic requirements set by underwriters.
What is the difference between an Emergency IR and having an Incident Response Retainer?
Emergency IR: This is a reactive service when you call us after an attack has occurred. It is billed at emergency hourly rates and subject to immediate availability.

Incident Response Retainer: This is a proactive partnership. You pay an annual fee to secure guaranteed SLA response times, lower hourly rates, and pre negotiated legal terms. It also includes proactive threat hunting and breach-readiness assessments so you are prepared before an attack happens.
