Preparation is the difference between recovery and catastrophe
When a breach occurs, every minute counts. Organisations that respond quickly and decisively suffer significantly less damage — shorter outages, lower financial impact, and stronger regulatory outcomes. But effective incident response cannot be improvised under pressure. It requires tested plans, trained teams, and experienced partners standing by.
Nomios works with organisations before, during, and after a cyber incident — helping you prepare for the inevitable, contain and investigate when it happens, and emerge stronger on the other side.
Before, during, and after
Effective incident response spans three distinct phases. Nomios supports all of them.

What our IR team delivers
Specialist expertise across every dimension of incident response — from the first alert to the final report.
- Rapid assessment of scope and severity, immediate containment actions to limit damage, and a clear command structure to coordinate your response from the first hour onwards.
- Specialist support for ransomware incidents — from initial triage and negotiation guidance through to recovery planning, decryption where possible, and prevention of reinfection.
- Detailed digital forensics to establish what happened, when, how, and what data was accessed or exfiltrated — producing evidence-grade findings that stand up to regulatory and legal scrutiny.
- A structured review of your current incident response capability — plans, playbooks, tooling, and team readiness — with a clear gap analysis and prioritised improvement roadmap.
- Expert guidance on your notification obligations under GDPR, NIS2, and DORA — helping you meet regulatory deadlines, communicate clearly with supervisors, and avoid secondary penalties.
- Once the immediate incident is resolved, we help you close the gaps that allowed it — from technical remediation and architecture hardening to process improvements and staff awareness.

Why a retainer makes sense
During an active incident, there is no time to negotiate contracts, onboard a new partner, or brief a team on your environment from scratch. Organisations with a retainer in place respond faster, contain damage more effectively, and recover with far less disruption.
A Nomios IR retainer means our team already knows your environment, your contacts, and your priorities — so when you call, we can act immediately.
The hours in a retainer are flexible — and can also be used for related services such as threat intelligence, preparedness assessments, or tabletop exercises. That way, your hours are never idle and a retainer is never money wasted. Contact sales for the terms and conditions.

What sets us apart
Full lifecycle — not just breach response
- We work with you before, during, and after an incident. Preparedness, active response, forensics, and post-incident hardening — all from one trusted partner.
Regulatory expertise built in
- NIS2, DORA, and GDPR all impose notification obligations with tight deadlines. Our team knows the European regulatory landscape and helps you meet your obligations without compounding the damage.
Calm under pressure
- Our IR team has handled hundreds of incidents — ransomware, data breaches, insider threats, and nation-state attacks. We bring structure and composure to situations that can quickly become chaotic.
Connected to your broader security programme
- IR findings feed back into vulnerability management, detection engineering, and security posture — so every incident makes your organisation harder to compromise next time.
Don't wait for an incident to find out if you're ready.
