Incident Response (IR)
Incident Response (IR)
When a cyber incident strikes whether it’s a ransomware lockdown, a business email compromise, or a sophisticated data breach the first few hours are critical. Iron Fist Labs provides immediate, expert mobilization to contain, eradicate, and recover from cyber crises. We act as the First Responders for Michigan organizations, minimizing business downtime and protecting critical data assets.
Unlike general IT support, our dedicated Incident Response (IR) team is trained to handle the legal and technical volatility of a breach. We manage the entire incident lifecycle with speed and precision, ensuring that a security event does not become a business-ending catastrophe.

The Challenge
In the chaos of a breach, organizations often lack the internal resources and “muscle memory” to respond effectively. Panic leads to mistakes. Key challenges include:
Our Approach
Priority Retainer (Preparation)
We offer a Pre-Incident Retainer to guarantee a Service Level Agreement (SLA) for response time. This ensures you aren’t negotiating contracts while your house is on fire. We map your critical assets before an attack happens.Priority Retainer (Preparation)

Forensic Investigation (Detection)
Our GX-IH and OSDA certified analysts validate the incident scope and preserve evidence chain-of-custody. We determine the “Patient Zero” and the attacker’s objectives.Forensic Investigation (Detection)

Surgical Containment
We rapidly isolate affected systems to prevent further data exfiltration. We move to Eradication, surgically removing the threat actor’s persistence mechanisms from your network.Surgical Containment

Secure Recovery
We don’t just “turn it back on.” We guide the secure restoration of systems from clean backups and monitor for re-entry, ensuring the threat is truly gone.Secure Recovery
