WHO WE ARE

LEARN MORE

INCIDENT READINESS

Prep

Prep establishes the foundations of your incident readiness program, aligning policies, playbooks, and communication paths with your organization’s structure and risk profile. IR Proactive helps you clarify roles, decision points, and escalation flows so your team can act quickly and confidently when an incident begins.

Review

We focus on evaluating how prepared you are today by mapping current capabilities, gaps, and dependencies across people, process, and technology. Using industry best practices and established frameworks, IR Proactive delivers concrete, actionable recommendations to strengthen your ability to manage complex cyber incidents.

Exercises

We help you expose real gaps before real attackers do by running intelligence‑driven tabletop scenarios and threat emulations tailored to your environment. These sessions stress‑test process, communication, and technical controls so leaders and responders can refine how they detect, decide, and coordinate under pressure.

Training

Training builds the skills your responders need to handle modern incidents, from immediate‑action forensics through deep endpoint analysis and incident command. IR Proactive designs practical, cost‑effective training that fits your team’s tools, workload, and maturity so they can translate knowledge into effective response.
