Emergency Cyber Incident Response

Cyber Incident or Ransomware Attack? Get Back to Operations Safely.

If your business is dealing with ransomware, a hacked Microsoft 365 account, suspicious access, locked files, malware, or a possible data breach, the first move matters.

KairosIT helps organizations contain the threat, validate a clean recovery path, and rebuild on a stronger foundation.

  • Ransomware containment and recovery
  • Microsoft 365 compromise response
  • Backup validation and clean restore planning
  • Insurance, legal, and forensic coordination

If You Are in the Middle of an Incident, Start Here

Do not rush to restore systems before you know what was compromised. A bad restore can bring the attacker, malware, exposed credentials, or damaged data right back into the environment.

  • Isolate affected systems
  • Preserve logs and evidence
  • Protect backups from further damage
  • Remove attacker access
  • Confirm which systems are safe to use
  • Coordinate with insurance, legal, and forensics

Incident types

We Help With More Than Ransomware

Ransomware is the incident everyone recognizes, but it is not the only event that can shut down operations or expose sensitive data.

Ransomware

Encrypted files, locked systems, backup questions, and recovery pressure.

Microsoft 365 Compromise

Hacked inboxes, suspicious access, admin account issues, and email security gaps.

Business Email Compromise

Fraudulent emails, risky mailbox rules, account takeover, and payment-risk response.

Malware Outbreak

Endpoint review, containment, reconnection planning, and validation.

Vendor or RMM Compromise

Remote access review, credential reset, admin lockdown, and environment validation.

Data Exposure

Technical support for suspected breach, file access review, and evidence preservation.

Recovery process

Our Recovery Approach

The response plan depends on what happened, what systems were touched, and what needs to come back online first.

01

Contain

Isolate affected systems, protect backups, suspend risky access, and stop the incident from spreading.

02

Validate

Review identity, endpoints, servers, Microsoft 365, backups, and compromise indicators.

03

Recover

Restore identity, core applications, files, endpoints, and user access in the right order.

04

Rebuild

Strengthen MFA, least-privilege access, endpoint protection, monitoring, and immutable backup.

05

Protect

Move into managed IT, MDR, backup, disaster recovery, and security governance.

Proof, not promises

Built for the Moment After Something Goes Wrong

KairosIT has helped organizations recover from ransomware and modernize the same weaknesses attackers often exploit: legacy servers, stale admin access, weak remote access, unmanaged endpoints, poor backup design, and incomplete Microsoft cloud migrations.

In one ransomware recovery engagement, our team helped contain encryption to a limited number of systems, rebuild identity and access controls, and move the client toward a secure cloud-first foundation.

Questions

Cyber Incident Response FAQ

Can KairosIT help if we are actively dealing with ransomware?

Yes. We can help with triage, containment, backup validation, recovery planning, Microsoft 365 and identity review, endpoint recovery, server recovery, and secure rebuild work.

Do you only handle ransomware?

No. We also help with Microsoft 365 compromise, business email compromise, malware, suspicious admin access, vendor access compromise, data exposure, server compromise, and recovery after a cyber incident.

Should we restore from backup right away?

Not always. Backups need to be validated before restore. If the backup contains malware, compromised access, or the wrong restore point, restoring too quickly can make the incident worse.

Do you work with cyber insurance and legal counsel?

Yes. We can coordinate with your cyber insurance carrier, breach counsel, and forensic vendors so the technical recovery work supports the documentation and validation they need.
