COMMON QUESTIONS
Clarity before
the next decision.
Know what to expect from specialist incident support.
Can you work with our existing IT team or MSP?
Yes. DFI provides specialist investigation and response support alongside the people responsible for your systems. Responsibilities, access, decision authority and recovery activities need to be agreed for the engagement.
What information is helpful at first contact?
An outline of what happened, when it was discovered, the systems or accounts involved, and a contact who can coordinate with IT and leadership. Do not submit passwords or case evidence through this website. A secure intake process would be agreed during engagement.
Can you determine whether information was taken?
Sometimes the available records support that conclusion; sometimes they do not. The investigation should explain evidence of access or transfer, the limits of retained records and any uncertainty about exposure.
How does BreachReady differ from incident response?
Incident response addresses an event that has occurred or is suspected. BreachReady is an annual program with retained incident-response specialists and priority support 24/7 from day one of an active agreement, plus planning, playbooks, exercises and ongoing readiness work.
