Why preparation matters

Most businesses find out they have no plan at exactly the wrong moment.

When a ransomware attack or data breach occurs, the decisions made in the first 60 minutes shape everything that follows, whether the incident is contained quickly or spirals into days of disruption.

Without a plan and a trusted response partner already in place, businesses spend that first hour working out who to call and what to do. By the time a responder arrives, the damage is already done.

The good news is that preparation does not have to be complicated or expensive. It just has to be in place before you need it.

The first hour is the most critical

Industry data consistently shows that the time between detection and containment determines the scale of the damage. Every minute without a response plan is a minute the attacker has.

Responders arriving cold take longer

A specialist who does not know your environment has to learn it under pressure. A retainer or subscription means your responder already understands your systems before anything happens.

The cost of no plan is always higher

Emergency response without pre-agreed rates means negotiating costs in the middle of a crisis. A subscription or retainer fixes your costs before the incident, not after it.

The Aruga approach

Four principles that run through everything we do.

Regardless of which service is right for you, these are the things you can expect from Aruga on every Incident Response engagement.

01

Named people

You speak to a specialist who knows your case. Not a queue, not a rota, not whoever is available.

02

Pre-agreed terms

For subscription and retainer clients, rates and scope are agreed before anything happens. No surprises mid-incident.

03

Priority access

Subscription and retainer clients are prioritised. During industry-wide incidents, your access is protected.

04

UK-based, NCSC-assured

Aruga is an NCSC-assured Incident Response provider. The UK Government's own benchmark for who to call when it happens.
