Incident Response Readiness

Incident Response Readiness (IRR)

Incident Response is the crown jewel of any cybersecurity program — it’s the critical moment when your security investments either prove their worth or fall short. Hacktica’s Incident Response Readiness (IRR) service focuses on that exact moment, helping organizations validate how well they can detect, respond to, and recover from real-world attacks targeting their web applications, APIs, and WAF-protected environments.

IRR - Web Application

Security governance programs provide the framework organizations use to manage and align cybersecurity operations with business objectives and regulatory requirements.

Incident Response Readiness (IRR) is a critical layer within that framework — it evaluates how effectively your team operates security controls when an actual attack occurs.

IRR assessments focus on real-time operational capabilities, including:

  • ✅ Having a defined incident response process — and actually using it when needed

  • ✅ Operating your WAF and bot manager efficiently during live attacks

  • ✅ Leveraging our structured AMI3A process to drive measurable outcomes across your security stack

🚀 Faster Detection and Mitigation

Accelerate your MTTD (Mean Time to Detect) and MTTM (Mean Time to Mitigate) through live, high-fidelity scenario evaluations.

🤝 Improved Coordination

Strengthen alignment between people, processes, and tools — so your incident response flows, not fractures.

💰 Maximized Technology ROI

Ensure your WAF, SIEM, and defensive controls are actively contributing to security outcomes — not just sitting on paper.

This is Security Synergy — when your people, processes, and protections work together seamlessly during an attack.

  • Am I Under Attack?
  • Am I Compromised?

Who Needs to Be Ready?

IRR evaluations engage your full operational landscape. These assessments are designed to activate and validate coordination across:

  • Security Management – CVE exposure tracking, 0day threat intelligence, WAF enforcement visibility, and policy gap mapping.

  • Operations Teams – Infrastructure and application changes that affect protection logic and detection surface.

  • Bot & Threat Monitoring Units – Evaluation of automated traffic threat responses and abnormal behavioral detection.

  • SecOps & IR Teams – From alert pipelines to containment and mitigation, response must be swift and precise.

  • Business & Application Owners – Ensuring that key stakeholders can support and adapt during high-impact incidents.

Hacktica’s IRR service goes beyond simulation — it delivers a strategic evaluation of your readiness across all moving parts of modern incident response.

Incident Response Readiness (IRR) is the ultimate benchmark for your security operations — not just detecting threats, but proving your ability to respond under pressure. Hacktica’s IRR assessments simulate real-world attack conditions to evaluate the effectiveness of your security posture across three core pillars: People, Process, and Product. Our structured evaluations reveal not only technical gaps but operational blind spots, ensuring that your entire response chain is primed and proven.
