Does Mentis Group Offer Breach Remediation and Incident Response?
Yes: find the source, contain it, restore while preserving forensics, and prevent recurrence.
Yes. Mentis Group provides breach remediation and incident response: identifying the source of the breach, containing the threat, restoring systems while preserving forensic evidence, and implementing preventive controls to reduce the risk of recurrence. It is available to existing clients as part of our security services and to businesses in Dallas-Fort Worth that need help now.
What breach remediation includes
- Triage and containment. Isolating affected systems, disabling compromised accounts, protecting backups and stopping the attacker's access path.
- Investigation. Determining how the attacker got in, what they touched, how long they were present and whether data was exfiltrated, while preserving logs and evidence for insurers, counsel and regulators.
- Coordination. Working with your cyber insurance carrier, breach counsel and, where required, law enforcement.
- Recovery. Rebuilding from clean images, restoring verified backups in priority order, resetting credentials and closing the entry point.
- Prevention. Implementing the controls that would have stopped the incident: MFA, endpoint detection, patching, immutable backups, segmentation, monitoring and training.
- Documentation. A written account of what happened and what changed.

Before the next one
An incident response plan and the controls on the cyber insurance checklist prevent most incidents and shorten the rest. What is a data breach explains notification obligations.
