What To Expect from Incident Response with Bridewell
What To Expect from Incident Response with Bridewell
Our incident response specialists work with your internal security teams to identify and contain threats – limiting damage to your IT infrastructure.
Bridewell covers key cyber security threats, including:
- Ransomware Incident Response
- Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Incident Response
- Cloud Incident Response
- Data Breach Incident Response
- Malware Incident Response
Below is an overview of our comprehensive incident response process:
Preparation
We conduct regular internal training to ensure you’re equipped to handle incidents as they occur.
Detection & Analysis
Our continuous monitoring tools are deployed to detect security breaches in real time. We then analyse security breaches to determine the overall threat level of the incident and change our approach accordingly.
Containment
Once the threat has been confirmed, we deploy immediate containment measures to isolate the breach and prevent further damage to your security infrastructure.
Eradication
Our team identifies the root cause of the issue and removes any malicious elements from your IT infrastructure – ensuring all vulnerabilities are addressed.
Recovery
Any affected systems are restored to normal operation, with necessary updates or patches installed.
Post Incident Review
After resolving the issue, our team conducts a thorough review of the response effectiveness. This includes identifying improvements that could be made to an existing security environment and updating incident response plans accordingly.
NCSC and CREST Accreditations in cyber incident response, cyber incident exercising and more.
We are also Microsoft’s leading cyber security partner in the UK for CNI.
We are certified for ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 9001 and operate to ISO 22301 standards.
The Importance of Incident Response
Our incident response service is a vital part of any emergency cyber security process. When data breaches or security threats occur, a swift incident response means:
- Minimal Damage: An immediate incident response means mitigating damage to cyber security infrastructure. This means less downtime after an attack and a reduction in financial and operational losses.
- Sensitive Data is Protected: The lower the Mean Time to Contain (MTTC), the more limited the window of attack. This minimises the risk to sensitive data.
- Limited Downtime: The faster a security threat is dealt with, the quicker your organisation can return to daily operations.
- Builds Customer Trust: Quick responses to security threats build customer confidence in your organisation’s ability to protect sensitive data.
Why is it Worth It?
The Average Cost of a Data Breach in the UK is £3.4 Million.
Companies can save up to £1.5 million if they identify a threat within the first 200 days.
At Bridewell, our average incident response time is < 1 hours
- An effective incident response is crucial as a data security measure and money-saving tool.
- By investing in effective response strategies, companies can improve their overall security while safeguarding their reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
The four standard phases of incident response include the preparation phase, where policies, tools and training are established. In the detection and analysis phase, potential threats are identified and assessed. Next is the containment, eradication and recovery phase, where response plans are put into motion – before the final post-incident activity phase, where the response is reviewed to help improve future efforts.
ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) incident response focuses on restoring normal service operation as quickly as possible after a breach, while minimising its impact on business. It promotes structures and processes for incident identification, categorisation and prioritisation to efficiently manage incidents and enhance overall service quality.
The main difference is that MDR focuses on proactive detection and response to cyber threats.
MDR services are designed to proactively identify, investigate and respond to threats that have evaded detection by traditional security solutions by integrating threat hunting into the detection service.
This leverages threat intelligence to analyse threats, actors, and behaviours, as well as zero-day attacks. Traditional security monitoring from most service providers typically rely on passive detection methods, such as signature-based detection, which can only detect known threats.
An MDR solution typically includes the following key components:
- Great people with strong expertise and experience.
- Modern and proactive processes - i.e. threat hunting, content development and automation - that leverage threat intelligence and research.
- The ability to integrate modern XDR along with IT and OT assets.
