IR & Forensics
Incident Response & Forensics
Containment in hours. Answers in days.
Containment in hours. Answers in days. Forensic evidence that holds up for insurance carriers, regulators, and litigation.
When an incident hits, the next 24 hours decide whether it becomes a controllable event or a board-level crisis. Code4's IR team mobilizes fast: contain the threat, eradicate the foothold, recover operations — and document everything to a forensic standard. Our reports are accepted by major cyber-insurance carriers and have stood up in regulatory and legal proceedings.

FAQ
Do I need an IR retainer to call you?
No — we respond to incidents from any organization. A retainer guarantees faster SLAs and pre-negotiated terms.
Will you work with our cyber-insurance carrier?
Yes — we work directly with major carriers and breach counsel. Our reporting matches their requirements.
Can you help if we've already engaged another firm?
Yes — we can take over or augment an in-flight response. We coordinate cleanly with breach counsel and other vendors.
