Incident Response Rapid Cyber Response
24/7 breach containment, forensic analysis, and recovery from Petronella Technology Group. When every minute counts, our Raleigh-based incident response team acts fast to minimize damage and restore operations.
Four-Phase Incident Response
Our incident response methodology follows NIST SP 800-61 guidelines, adapted for the speed and decisiveness that real-world breaches demand.
Contain
Isolate compromised systems, block attacker access, and prevent lateral movement within minutes of engagement.
Investigate
Forensic analysis to determine attack vector, scope, data exposure, and attacker persistence mechanisms.
Eradicate
Remove all attacker footholds, patch exploited vulnerabilities, and verify clean system state before restoration.
Recover
Restore systems from validated backups, implement monitoring, and deliver lessons-learned documentation.
What We Investigate

Choose Your Coverage Model
Whether you need emergency response right now or want proactive coverage for future incidents, we have a model that fits.
Emergency Response
Active breach? Call our emergency line at (919) 348-4912. Our IR team begins remote triage within 30 minutes of engagement. On-site response available within hours for Raleigh-Durham organizations. No retainer required for emergency engagements. We work with your cyber insurance carrier for direct billing when applicable.
Retainer Program
Pre-negotiated response times, pre-authorized access, and reduced hourly rates. Retainer clients receive annual IR plan review, tabletop exercises, and guaranteed 15-minute response SLA. When an incident occurs, we already know your environment, contacts, and procedures, which cuts investigation time significantly and reduces overall breach cost.
Breach Notification Support
We help you meet mandatory notification timelines for HIPAA (60 days), state breach notification laws (varies by state), CMMC incident reporting requirements, and PCI DSS breach procedures. Our team prepares the notification language, identifies affected individuals, and coordinates with legal counsel to ensure regulatory compliance.
Post-Incident Hardening
After containment and recovery, we implement the security improvements identified during investigation. This includes vulnerability remediation, access control tightening, monitoring enhancements, and security awareness training updates. Organizations that complete post-incident hardening reduce their re-compromise rate by over 80 percent.
