ABOUT INCIDENT RESPONSE & DIGITAL FORENSICS
Expert Guidance When It Matters Most
Incident response focuses on containing and resolving active threats such as ransomware, data breaches, and unauthorized access. Digital forensics then reveals how the attack occurred, what was affected, and provides evidence that stands up to legal and regulatory scrutiny.
PlutoSec quickly isolates impacted systems, preserves critical evidence, and conducts a structured investigation to determine the incident’s scope, root cause, and business impact delivering clear remediation steps to prevent recurrence.

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 think we are being breached right now. What should we do first?
Contact us immediately rather than trying to fix it internally first. Avoid shutting down systems or wiping devices, since this can destroy evidence needed for the investigation. Isolate affected systems from the network if you can do so safely, and call our response line so we can begin containment right away.
How fast can you actually respond?
For active incidents, our team begins engagement within the hour. The exact response time depends on the nature of the incident and whether you have an existing retainer with us, which we always recommend for organizations that want guaranteed priority response.
What is the difference between incident response and digital forensics?
Incident response is the immediate work of containing and stopping an active threat. Digital forensics is the investigation that follows, determining how the attacker got in, what they accessed, and building evidence that can be used for insurance, legal, or regulatory purposes. Most engagements involve both, often running in parallel.
Will we need to report this breach, and can you help with that?
Will we need to report this breach, and can you help with that?
Under Canadian privacy law, organizations are generally required to report breaches involving personal information that pose a real risk of significant harm. We provide the timeline, scope, and technical documentation your legal counsel needs to meet these obligations, though the legal determination itself should come from your lawyer.
Can you help with cyber insurance claims?
Yes. We document the incident in a format that aligns with what cyber insurance providers typically require, and many of our clients work with us specifically because their insurer recommends or requires a qualified forensic investigation following a claim.
Do we need an incident response plan if we have never had a breach?
Yes, and it is far cheaper to build one now than during an active incident. Organizations with a tested response plan typically contain breaches faster and at lower cost than those improvising for the first time under pressure.
