Pre-Emptive IR as a Service
Continuous IR readiness, not emergency response. Your engagement starts before the incident.
The Gap Between "We Have a Plan" and "We're Actually Ready"
Every CISO carries the same weight. The board expects readiness. Regulators demand proof. The security team is stretched. And when the incident hits, the first question isn't "what happened?" It's "were we ready?"
Most CISOs know the answer before it's asked. The IR retainer collects dust until the breach. The tools are scattered across vendors, each covering a piece, none connecting to the others. When the 2 AM call comes, the first hour disappears into context assembly: requesting credentials, mapping infrastructure, figuring out priorities under pressure.
That gap between "we have an IR plan" and "we're actually ready" is where incidents turn into crises.
Readiness Is the Difference
The organizations that recover fastest aren't the ones with the biggest security teams. They're the ones that were ready before the incident happened.
Profero's casework proves it. Subscription clients who run on the Rapid-IR platform resolve incidents in minutes. Without the platform, even Profero's own engagements take days. The industry measures in months.
The difference isn't staffing. It isn't budget. It's readiness.
When the platform already knows your environment, has already scored your risks, has already mapped your exposure to active threats, and has already told your team what to fix first, "rapid response" isn't aspirational. It's the default.
The fastest IR starts before the incident.
The Retainer That Works Every Day
Most IR retainers are break-glass contracts. They sit dormant until the breach. The provider shows up, starts from zero, and the clock starts ticking with no context, no environment knowledge, and no pre-existing relationship with your systems. Profero's model is the opposite.
Break-Glass Retainer
- Dormant between incidents
- Response starts from zero
- Provider learns your environment mid-crisis
- Periodic assessment, if any
- SLA measures ticket response
- You hope they're fast
Pre-Emptive IR
- Readiness scoring runs continuously
- Responder inherits full environment context
- Deep Breach Focus already knows your environment
- Continuous digitized assessment
- 20-minute guaranteed response to a qualified practitioner
- Incidents resolved in minutes, not months
Your board doesn't hear "we have a retainer." They hear "our IR readiness runs continuously, our environment is scored daily, and we guarantee 20-minute response."
Your Priorities Drive Everything
Generic security recommendations waste time. What matters to a financial services CISO isn't what keeps a healthcare security leader up at night. Rapid-IR puts the CISO in control.
CISOs define organizational priorities directly within Rapid-IR. Once set, those priorities cascade through the entire platform. Deep Breach Focus reweights its scoring model. The Focused View re-prioritizes its Must-Do list. Every recommendation aligns to the risks that actually threaten your organization.
This isn't a cosmetic filter. It changes what the platform surfaces, how it ranks urgency, and what it tells your team to do first.

One Platform. Four Quadrants. The Full Breach Lifecycle.
Rapid-IR covers the full breach lifecycle, organized into four quadrants that map directly to CISO concerns.
Intelligence: Know What's Targeting You
Stealer Monitoring and External Attack Surface, Campaign Advisories, and Threat Intelligence Reports keep you ahead of threats relevant to your industry and region. Deep Breach Focus cross-references threat activity against your specific environment.
Readiness: Prove You're Prepared
Digitized readiness assessments replace static PDFs. The Focused View scores every finding as Must-Do or Recommended. Threat Priority Model lets you define what matters. Every recommendation adapts. The Audit Trail documents everything for compliance.
Response: Resolve in Minutes, Not Months
The War Room gives your executives live incident visibility without interrupting responders. The Tactical Room captures structured data from minute one. Emergency Details provides a 6-step sequence with contacts and credentials. Your subscription includes a 20-minute guaranteed response.
Discovery: Investigate Securely
WARP handles encrypted exchange of forensic artifacts and malware samples. Investigator searches across endpoint data and IOCs from a single interface. Leaked Credentials and Stealer Monitoring monitors data access patterns.
One platform. One team. One AI engine connecting it all.
Built by the Team That Gets Called at 2 AM
Rapid-IR wasn't built by a software company that hired security consultants. An IR team built its own platform from real casework. Every feature exists because it was needed during an engagement and didn't exist anywhere else.
The same practitioners who built Deep Breach Focus are the ones who pick up when you call. They understand the platform because they built it from their own frontline experience. Your support comes from the people who designed the tools, not from a separate team reading documentation.
That's why the 20-minute guarantee is credible. The team that guarantees the response built the platform that makes it possible.
Why It Matters
For CISOs
Your IR program shouldn't depend on who's available at 2 AM. Rapid-IR makes incident readiness a continuous capability. AI that prioritizes based on your risk profile. Readiness that's scored daily. A guaranteed response backed by the team that built the platform. When the board asks "are we ready?", you show them a live, scored platform, not a binder.
For Board Members
The 20-minute guaranteed response converts IR readiness from an abstract budget line into a measurable commitment. Incidents resolved in minutes, not months. Continuous readiness scoring. Documented compliance through the Audit Trail. Rapid-IR gives the board something they rarely get from security investments: a specific, defensible answer to "what are we getting for this?"
For Security Leaders Building a Program
Rapid-IR is the backbone of an IR program, not an add-on. Threat Priority Model lets you define the priorities. Deep Breach Focus executes on them continuously. The platform generates the compliance documentation, tracks readiness over time, and delivers executive reporting through the War Room and Incident History. It's the difference between having a plan and having a program.
