What We Deliver

Incident Response From Preparation to Recovery

IR Planning & Tabletop Exercises

Documented incident response plans with defined roles, escalation procedures, and communication templates. Annual tabletop exercises to validate the plan before a real event tests it.

Learn More

Active Incident Containment

When a breach is declared, BWT's IR team mobilizes immediately. Affected systems isolated, attacker access cut, and forensic preservation initiated — fast.

Learn More

Forensic Investigation

Root cause analysis, timeline reconstruction, and scope determination. Which systems were accessed, what data was exposed, and how the attacker got in.

Learn More

Recovery & Remediation

Affected systems rebuilt or restored securely. Persistence mechanisms removed. Security gaps that enabled the breach identified and remediated before systems return to production.

Learn More

Regulatory Notification Support

Breach notification requirements assessed for HIPAA, PCI DSS, state data breach laws, and cyber insurance policy obligations. Notification drafts reviewed for compliance.

Learn More

Post-Incident Hardening

Security improvements recommended and implemented based on attack path analysis. The vulnerabilities the attacker exploited are closed before the environment is restored.

Technology Counts.
People Matter.

Incident response is the most time-critical service in cybersecurity. Every hour of uncontained access is an hour the attacker spends expanding their footprint. BWT's IR team responds fast and operates with the urgency the situation demands.

How It Works

How BWT Responds to Security Incidents

A disciplined IR methodology is what separates a contained incident from an extended breach. BWT follows NIST 800-61 throughout every engagement.
1
Preparation & IR Planning

Before any incident, BWT builds your IR plan — roles, escalation paths, communication templates, and decision trees. This work happens before you need it, not during.

2
Detection, Containment & Eradication

When an incident is declared, affected systems are isolated, forensic preservation initiated, and the investigation begins. Attacker access is cut before they can expand their foothold.

3
Recovery & Post-Incident Review

Systems restored from known-good backups or rebuilt. Security gaps patched. Written post-incident report delivered with root cause, timeline, and recommendations.

The Cost of a Slow Response
The Difference Between a $50K Incident and a $5M Breach Is Often Measured in Hours

Dwell time — the time between initial compromise and detection and containment — is the primary driver of breach cost and scope. Attackers who remain in an environment for days or weeks have time to establish persistence, exfiltrate data, and deploy ransomware across the full environment. Fast containment limits the blast radius. BWT is built to respond fast.

BWT was on the phone within 40 minutes of our call and had the affected systems isolated within two hours. The attacker had lateral movement tools staged. Two more hours and it would have been a full network encryption event.

Response in Under One Hour

BWT's IR team initiates response within one hour of incident declaration — 24 hours a day, every day. Speed of containment is the most important factor in limiting breach scope.

Full Forensic Capability

BWT preserves forensic evidence using industry-standard tools and chain-of-custody procedures. Evidence is preserved for potential legal proceedings, regulatory investigations, and insurance claims.

Regulatory Notification Expertise

BWT's team understands HIPAA breach notification requirements, state data breach laws, and cyber insurance reporting obligations. We guide you through what needs to be disclosed, to whom, and by when.

The BWT Standard
An incident response plan that has never been tested is not a plan. It is a hope.

BWT has responded to ransomware attacks, business email compromise, insider threats, and advanced persistent threat activity across industries. Every engagement produces a written post-incident report your organization can learn from.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Organizations Ask About Incident Response

BWT offers both. A retainer ensures priority response and allows IR planning work to be done in advance. Break-glass engagements are available when an incident occurs without a prior relationship, though response may be slightly slower due to onboarding requirements.
Common triggers include ransomware deployment, confirmed credential compromise, suspicious lateral movement, data exfiltration indicators, and any event that may trigger a regulatory breach notification obligation. When in doubt, call — triage is always available.
BWT is familiar with the IR requirements of major cyber insurance carriers. We can coordinate directly with your insurer’s panel counsel and forensic requirements. Our documentation is designed to satisfy insurer evidence requirements.
BWT’s post-incident report covers the incident timeline, initial access vector, attacker TTPs, scope of compromise, regulatory notification obligations, and a prioritized list of security improvements to prevent recurrence.
Yes. Ransomware response is a core competency of BWT’s IR team. This includes containment, forensic investigation, decryption assessment, backup restoration coordination, and attacker communication if required.
