What this service does
Incident response retainer. 48-hour engagement start. $500-$700/hour declared-incident senior IR — insurance-carrier-accepted (AIG, Beazley, Coalition, Resilience, Travelers, Chubb, Munich Re, Hartford). Counsel-coordinated. Ransomware, BEC, insider, cloud-IR ready.
Engagements are confidential and structured to begin within 48 hours of the consultation. Some service tracks are offered at a fixed fee; complex investigations are billed hourly with a clear scope, milestone updates, and a cap agreed up front. Quinn leads every engagement directly; the senior engineers on her team execute the technical work alongside her. No sales pipeline. No off-shoring. No black-box delivery.
What we will not do
- Run a single automated scan and email you a one-line result
- Take cases where simpler steps (police report, IC3 filing, platform-native recovery) would resolve the situation — we'll tell you and decline
- Promise outcomes we cannot guarantee
- Bill for work that wasn't scoped or approved in writing
How an engagement begins
- Confidential consultation. NDA-protected. 30-60 minutes. Direct conversation, no sales process.
- Scoped engagement. Written proposal with defined deliverables and pricing — fixed fee where it applies, hourly with milestone caps for open-ended investigations.
- Investigation and findings. Court-admissible standards. Written report you can act on.
Referral partnerships welcome
We work with cybersecurity firms, MSPs and MSSPs, IT consultancies, law firms, breach counsel, and insurance brokers who need our capability without building it in-house. We deliver under our own brand directly to the client, and you stay in the relationship. Compensation is negotiated per partnership, calibrated to volume, scope, and ongoing co-marketing.
The structure is straightforward. You introduce the client, we sign a mutual NDA and a referral agreement, and we scope the engagement with them directly. We do not publish a fixed referral schedule because the right terms depend on the relationship. Recurring referral partners earn richer terms than one-off introductions.
Who refers to us today: cybersecurity firms hitting capacity, MSPs and MSSPs whose clients outgrew them, IT consultancies bridging into security, law firms placing breach counsel, breach counsel placing technical lead, and brokers placing post-incident remediation. The introduction takes one email. We will return scope, pricing, and timeline within two business days of the consultation.
We protect partner relationships. We do not solicit your client outside the scope of the engagement, we do not name them publicly without written consent, and we sign whatever non-circumvention language your counsel requires.
