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 helps organizations recover from incidents while modernizing the weaknesses attackers often exploit: stale admin access, weak remote access, unmanaged endpoints, poor backup design, and incomplete Microsoft cloud migrations.

Our team helps coordinate containment, recovery, validation, secure rebuild work, and the long-term managed IT and security controls needed after the emergency is over.

Questions

Cyber Incident Response FAQ

Do you provide incident response in Fort Lauderdale and Miami?

Yes. KairosIT supports organizations across Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Broward, Palm Beach, and nearby South Florida communities.

Can you come onsite if needed?

Yes. Many recovery tasks can begin remotely, but KairosIT can coordinate onsite support when the situation requires hands-on work.

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.
