Frequently asked questions

How much does incident response cost?

The average cost of an incident response engagement ranges from $5,000 to $50,000, depending on the scope, urgency, and environment complexity (cloud, on-prem, hybrid). Emergency cases or ransomware containment often cost more. At UnderDefense, we offer both on-demand and retained incident response, so you can choose what fits your needs and budget.

How fast should an incident response team act?

Speed is critical. The faster the response, the lower the damage. Industry best practice is to begin containment within the first hour of detection. At UnderDefense, our team is ready 24/7 and typically starts the first triage within 15 minutes of engagement.

What’s the difference between incident response and disaster recovery?

Incident response focuses on identifying, containing, and eradicating threats, like malware, ransomware, or unauthorized access. Disaster recovery is about restoring systems and data after disruption (natural disasters, hardware failure, etc.). Both are vital, but IR tackles security events, not just operational failures.

Do small businesses need incident response services?

Yes, more than ever. Small and mid-sized businesses are often targeted because they lack in-house security teams. Incident response isn’t just for enterprises—it’s essential for any organization that handles sensitive data or relies on digital operations.

Can you help if we’re already under attack?

Absolutely. We offer emergency response services for active breaches. Whether it's ransomware, phishing, insider threats, or cloud compromise, our experts can jump in immediately, contain the threat, stop further damage, and guide your recovery.

What tools or platforms do you use for incident response?

We work with industry-leading tools—SIEM, EDR, XDR, forensic platforms, and custom automation stacks. Our team can operate within your existing environment or bring our toolset to accelerate investigation, containment, and recovery.
