FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IR Retainer and why do we need one?

An IR Retainer is a pre-arranged agreement that guarantees priority access to incident response experts with defined activation times, removing the delays of sourcing help during an active breach.

How quickly will the team respond once we activate the retainer?

Response times are defined in the SLA and typically range from one to four hours for initial response, depending on the tier of retainer selected.

Can we use retainer hours for anything other than an active incident?

Yes — unused hours can typically be applied to proactive activities such as tabletop exercises, IR plan reviews, and readiness assessments.

What industries or company sizes is this suited for?

The IR Retainer is suited for any organization that wants guaranteed access to expert incident response, regardless of size, particularly those in regulated or high-risk sectors.

What happens if we don't use our retainer during the contract period?

Depending on the agreement, unused response hours can often be converted into proactive security services before the retainer period ends.
