Incident Response

When a security breach occurs, every minute counts. Alchemilla Ventures provides rapid incident response and digital forensics services to contain attacks, preserve evidence, and restore operations — available 24/7 for organisations.

Why Incident Response Readiness Matters

reported over 1.3 million cybersecurity incidents. Organisations without an incident response plan face 2.4x higher breach costs and significantly longer recovery times. Our IR team helps you prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents — from ransomware to data breaches to insider threats.

Our Incident Response Services

• Emergency Incident Response (24/7): On-call response for active security incidents — ransomware attacks, business email compromise, data exfiltration, and system intrusions. Our responders can be on-site at your location within hours (and major the countryn cities) or engage remotely within minutes.

• Ransomware Response & Negotiation: Experienced in managing ransomware incidents for enterprises. We handle containment (isolating affected systems), preservation of evidence, engagement with threat actors (if appropriate), and guidance on recovery options — restore from backup vs. decryption. We work with the countryn law enforcement and for regulatory reporting.

• Digital Forensics: Forensic acquisition and analysis of compromised systems, network traffic, and cloud logs. We maintain chain of custody, produce court-admissible evidence, and support internal investigations and potential legal proceedings. Our forensics lab is equipped with industry-standard tools including EnCase, FTK, and X-Ways.

• Malware Analysis: Static and dynamic analysis of malware samples to understand capabilities, persistence mechanisms, and indicators of compromise (IOCs). We reverse-engineer malware targeting organisations and share IOCs through our threat intelligence feeds.

• Data Breach Assessment: Determine the scope of a data breach — what data was accessed or exfiltrated, which individuals are affected, and notification obligations under the IT Act 2000, Digital Personal Data Protection Act, and applicable international regulations (GDPR, CCPA).

• Post-Incident Recovery: Technical recovery — system rebuild, credential reset, backdoor removal — and strategic recovery — communication plans, regulatory notifications, and customer trust restoration. We guide your leadership team through the entire recovery journey.

Our Incident Response Process

1. Triage (First 30 Minutes):

• Initial assessment of incident scope and severity
• Declaration of incident severity level and engagement of appropriate resources
• Immediate containment actions — isolate affected systems, disable compromised accounts

2. Containment (Hours 1–4):

• Deploy forensic agents for evidence collection
• Block attacker infrastructure at network perimeter
• Reset compromised credentials, revoke sessions
• Preserve volatile data (memory dumps, network connections, running processes)

3. Investigation (Days 1–5):

• Root cause analysis — how did the attacker get in?
• Timeline reconstruction of attacker activity
• Identification of all compromised systems and data
• IOC extraction and threat actor attribution (where possible)

4. Eradication & Recovery (Days 2–10):

• Remove malware, persistence mechanisms, and backdoors
• Rebuild compromised systems from trusted images
• Validate that all attack paths have been closed
• Controlled restoration of services with enhanced monitoring

5. Post-Incident Review (Day 10+):

• Detailed incident report with findings, timeline, and recommendations
• Lessons learned workshop with your team
• Security roadmap to prevent recurrence
• Updates to incident response plan based on real-world experience

the country Regulatory Reporting

We assist with mandatory breach notifications under:

• Directions (70B): Breach reporting within 6 hours of detection
• Cybersecurity Framework: Incident reporting for banks and NBFCs
• Guidelines: Breach notification for insurance companies
• Cybersecurity Framework: Incident reporting for market infrastructure
• Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023: Data breach notification to Data Protection Board and affected individuals

Build Your IR Muscle Before an Incident

• IR Plan Development: Custom incident response plans aligned with NIST SP 800-61 and your regulatory obligations.
• Tabletop Exercises: Simulated breach scenarios led by our IR team, testing your team’s response procedures and decision-making under pressure.
• IR Retainer: Priority access to our incident response team with guaranteed SLAs. Retainer clients receive proactive threat intelligence, annual plan reviews, and discounted response rates.
