What Incident Response Demands From Your Organisation

European businesses face an escalating barrage of cyber threats β€” from ransomware syndicates targeting manufacturing supply chains to sophisticated phishing campaigns aimed at financial services. Under GDPR, organisations must detect and report personal data breaches within 72 hours or risk fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover. Effective incident response is no longer optional; it is a regulatory and operational imperative.

CyberSilo's incident response services are built for speed and precision. Our team of certified DFIR specialists works around the clock to contain threats, collect forensic evidence, and restore operations. We align every step with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and EU-specific requirements, ensuring your organisation meets notification deadlines and avoids costly penalties.

From initial triage to post-incident remediation, we partner with your security and legal teams to manage the full lifecycle of a breach. Our proactive Threat Exposure Management solution helps identify vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them, while our Agentic SOC AI accelerates detection and response through intelligent automation.

The Business Cost of Inadequate Incident Response in Europe

Failing to prepare for cyber incidents exposes your organisation to regulatory fines, legal liability, and irreparable reputational harm.

€20M

Maximum GDPR Fine

Under Article 83, organisations that fail to report a breach within 72 hours or lack adequate security measures (Article 32) face fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover β€” whichever is higher. The Irish DPC alone imposed €1.3 billion in fines in 2023.

60%

SMEs Close Within 6 Months

According to the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), 60% of small and medium-sized enterprises that suffer a significant data breach go out of business within six months. Without a tested incident response plan, recovery becomes insurmountable.

€4.45M

Average Breach Cost in EU

IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach report pegs the average cost for European organisations at €4.45 million β€” 10% higher than the global average. Delayed response increases costs by €1 million per week.

277 Days

Dwell Time Fuels Damage

The average time to identify a breach in Europe is 277 days. Attackers exfiltrate data and deploy ransomware within hours of initial access. CyberSilo reduces dwell time to under 2 hours through automated detection and containment.

All Related Frameworks β€” Automated & Audit-Ready

Our incident response services map to every major European regulatory framework, ensuring you meet overlapping requirements with a single unified approach.

GDPR

General Data Protection Regulation

Articles 5, 25, 32, 33, 34 β€” Mandatory breach notification, data protection by design, and organisational security measures. Our IR services guarantee 72-hour notification and full evidence chain.

NIS2

Network and Information Security Directive 2

Requires essential and important entities to implement incident detection, reporting, and crisis management. CyberSilo aligns with NIS2 Article 23 incident notification and Article 21 security requirements.

DORA

Digital Operational Resilience Act

EU regulation for financial services mandates ICT incident management, testing, and third-party risk. Our IR services cover DORA's incident classification, reporting, and recovery testing requirements.

ISO 27001

Information Security Management

Annex A controls 12.6 (information security incident management) requires documented procedures, response plans, and continuous improvement. CyberSilo provides ISO-ready IR documentation and testing.

ENISA

European Union Agency for Cybersecurity

ENISA incident response guidelines and good practices for national CSIRTs. We follow ENISA's technical guidelines for forensic acquisition, threat intelligence sharing, and incident categorisation.

NIST CSF

Cybersecurity Framework

Functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover. Our IR methodology maps directly to NIST SP 800-61 Rev 2 for incident handling and response playbooks.

PCI DSS

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard

Requirement 12.10 mandates incident response plans for cardholder data breaches. Our services include forensic investigation for forensic investigator (PFI) requirements and compliance reporting.

CIS

Center for Internet Security Controls

Control 17 (Incident Response Management) requires a formal IR programme with documented procedures, trained teams, and regular testing. CyberSilo's CIS Benchmarking Tool automates compliance validation.

BAFIN

Bundesanstalt fΓΌr Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht

German financial regulator requires BAIT/VAIT compliance for IT incident management. Our IR services meet Section 3 incident detection and Section 4 recovery requirements.

UK regulator (post-Brexit) enforces UK GDPR and PECR. Our IR services support ICO breach reporting with structured evidence, root cause analysis, and remediation timelines.

Cyber Essentials

UK Government Certification

Requires basic incident response capabilities including malware protection, access control, and update management. CyberSilo helps organisations achieve and maintain certification through automated controls.
