Detection and response
Be ready before a cyber incident happens
With predefined response processes, forensic support, investigation capabilities, and expert guidance, your team can react faster, reduce damage, and recover with more confidence.
Help you have already agreed, before you need it
An Incident Response Retainer is a pre-arranged agreement that gives your organization access to expert support before a crisis begins.
Instead of searching for help during an attack, your response team, processes, communication routes, and investigation support are already prepared.
That reduces delays, improves decision-making under pressure, and limits the impact of the incident.
Key benefits
- Faster response
- Get expert support quickly when an incident occurs, without negotiating terms during a crisis.
- Forensic investigation
- Understand what happened, how the attacker got in, what systems were affected, and what evidence is available.
- Regulatory support
- Support for the incident response planning and documentation needs connected to NIS2, DORA, and internal security requirements.
What the retainer covers
Rapid incident response
Pre-negotiated terms and a rapid response SLA to minimize breach impact and expedite recovery, with predefined processes and communication methods.
Comprehensive investigations
Modern forensic investigations including dead box forensics, containment efforts, root cause analysis, and data exfiltration determinations.
Compromise assessment
Deploy sensors to hunt and triage high-risk devices, uncovering malicious activity and attack history in your computing environment.
IR readiness engagement
Assess your organization’s internal preparedness, including legal counsel engagement, exfiltration, and data mining procedures.
Data discovery & validation
Identify and produce the evidence that will be requested during an incident, ensuring proper format, delivery, and usefulness.
Quarterly CVE assessment
Domain-wide visibility into emerging security concerns by identifying exploitation attempts involving recently released critical CVEs.
Incident response planning is now a legal requirement
In light of new EU regulations, having a robust incident response plan is not just good practice but a legal requirement. NIS2 and DORA both mandate that organizations establish and maintain comprehensive incident response plans.
These regulations aim to strengthen cybersecurity resilience across the EU by ensuring organizations are prepared to handle incidents effectively.
By partnering with Spirity, your organization not only meets those requirements but also gains a proactive stance against cyber threats — our retainer ensures your plan is robust, compliant, and capable of mitigating the impact of an incident.
What the regulations require
- NIS2 — establish and maintain a comprehensive incident response plan, and report significant incidents to national authorities within strict timelines.
- DORA — demonstrate digital operational resilience, including tested response procedures and standardized incident reporting.
This is a summary for orientation, not legal advice. Your obligations depend on your sector, size, and the entities you are classified as.

We don’t just provide tools; we provide integrated advisory and technical leadership. By combining our ISO/IEC 27001 certified expertise with an AI-powered Virtual CISO platform, we bridge the gap between complex IT security and business strategy. Our goal is to drive cyber risk down to zero while ensuring your business remains agile and compliant.
A Virtual CISO provides the strategic leadership of a high-level Chief Information Security Officer without the cost of a full-time executive hire. This service is ideal for organizations that need to build a security roadmap, manage risk, and ensure regulatory compliance but prefer a flexible, expert-led model.
We offer an end-to-end compliance journey. This includes an initial gap analysis to identify weaknesses, the implementation of required technical controls (like MFA, encryption, and incident response frameworks), and ongoing monitoring to meet strict EU reporting timelines. We turn compliance from a legal burden into a competitive advantage.
Over 85% of cyberattacks now originate at endpoints or through third-party vendors. Our Supply Chain Defense services (Third-Party Risk Management) continuously monitor the security practices of your partners and suppliers, ensuring that a vulnerability in their system doesn’t become a breach in yours.
Yes. Our Cyber Awareness service focuses on strengthening your "human firewall." We use gamified, engaging content and phishing simulations to educate your workforce, significantly reducing the risk of human error — which is responsible for the vast majority of successful cyberattacks.
We specialize in protecting vulnerable information during and after cloud migrations. Our team ensures your SAP HANA environment is hardened against threats and aligned with your broader organizational security policies, providing peace of mind as you modernize your IT operations.
The best way to start is with a Discovery Session. We will assess your current security posture and business goals to determine which services — ranging from strategic advisory to managed detection and response — align with your needs.
