Rapid-IR / Response
Stop Emailing Passwords During Incidents.
Encrypted credential vault and evidence exchange built for IR speed. Every transfer logged, access-controlled, and tied to the incident record.
Credentials and evidence. Encrypted, logged, connected.
Two things move constantly during an incident. Both create exposure.
Every IR engagement involves credential exchange. Your team needs to share admin passwords, API keys, encryption keys, and service account credentials with responders. The standard approach: paste it in Slack, email a password-protected ZIP, or read it over the phone.
Every IR engagement also involves file exchange. Log archives, configuration exports, forensic artifacts, memory dumps. The standard approach: email until the attachment limit hits, then switch to Dropbox or WeTransfer and hope nobody intercepts the link.
Both workflows share the same flaw. They're uncontrolled, unlogged, and unconnected to the incident. When the regulator asks "who accessed those credentials?" or "how was that evidence handled?", the answer is a shrug and a Slack search.
Access is the credential vault. Quick Share is the evidence vault.
Together, they eliminate the insecure workarounds that IR teams default to when they need to move sensitive material under pressure.
Access
The Credential Vault
Password Sharing
Share credentials directly through Rapid-IR. Encrypted in transit and at rest. Access-controlled so only authorized recipients retrieve them. No more credentials in email threads, chat messages, or sticky notes.
Secret Sharing
Not every sensitive value is a password. API keys, encryption keys, configuration secrets, tokens. Secret Sharing handles all of it through a controlled channel with restricted access. Secrets are shared only with specific, authorized individuals. Every transaction logged.
Role-Based Controls
Role-based permissions determine who can store, retrieve, and share credentials. Responders get what they need. Executives don't see what they shouldn't. No over-privileged access to the vault.
Quick Share
The Evidence Vault
Encrypted File Exchange
Upload files directly to Rapid-IR. Encrypted end-to-end. Accessible only to authorized parties on your team and the Profero IRT. The vault handles the file sizes and formats common in IR work, including large uploads that blow past email and consumer file-sharing limits.
File Protection for Malicious Samples
IR teams work with files that would trigger every security control in a standard environment: live malware, exploit code, infected documents. File Protection adds a second encryption layer on top of standard encryption. Malicious samples are stored safely, accessible to authorized analysts, and preserved for investigation without risk of accidental execution.
Chain of Custody
Every file transfer is logged with timestamps, user identity, and incident context. Files are tied to specific incidents and searchable in Incident History. When the regulator asks about evidence handling, you don't reconstruct the chain of custody from email threads. It's built into the workflow.
What changes when exchange is secure by default
| What moves | Without Rapid-IR | With Access & Quick Share |
|---|---|---|
| Admin passwords | Email, Slack, phone call | Encrypted vault, role-based retrieval, audit-logged |
| API keys and secrets | Shared doc, chat message, sticky note | Controlled channel, authorized recipients only, logged |
| Log archives | Email attachment (until it bounces), then Dropbox | Encrypted upload, tied to incident, no size limits |
| Memory dumps | USB drive, FTP server, prayer | Encrypted vault, connected to investigation, chain of custody |
| Malware samples | Can't share safely with consumer tools | Dual-encrypted File Protection, safe storage and analysis |
| Forensic artifacts | Scattered across analyst machines | Centralized, encrypted, searchable, incident-linked |
Secure exchange across the entire engagement
What Makes It Different
Access and Quick Share aren't generic security tools adapted for IR. They were built from the ground up for the specific workflows IR teams perform under pressure.
- Credential vault built for IR. Pre-loaded credentials mean your responder authenticates immediately. No waiting for someone to email a password at 2 AM.
- Dual-encrypted malware handling. Consumer tools quarantine your samples. Quick Share encrypts them twice and ties them to the case.
- Audit trail built in. Every credential access and every file transfer logged with timestamps and user identity. Compliance documentation writes itself.
- No size limits. Memory dumps, disk images, large log archives. Quick Share handles what email and consumer tools can't.
- Incident-connected. Files and credentials aren't floating in a silo. They're tied to the incident record, searchable in history, referenced in reports.
How Access & Quick Share Compare
vs. Email and Chat
The default "tool" for credential and file exchange during incidents. Unencrypted, unlogged, uncontrollable. One forwarded message and your admin password is in someone's inbox forever. Access and Quick Share replace this with encrypted, controlled, auditable exchange.
vs. Consumer File Sharing
Consumer tools aren't built for IR. They quarantine malware samples, reject large forensic files, and provide no chain of custody. Quick Share handles everything IR teams actually work with, including the dangerous stuff.
vs. Password Managers
Password managers are designed for individual credential storage, not multi-party IR credential exchange with role-based access and incident-linked audit trails. Access is built for the specific workflow of sharing credentials between your team and responders during an active incident.
vs. SFTP / Secure Transfer Tools
SFTP moves files. It doesn't tie them to incidents, log them in an audit trail, encrypt malicious samples with dual-layer protection, or connect them to your War Room and Incident History. Quick Share does all of it inside the response platform.
