what an untreated
incident actually costs.
Drawn from our internal incident response data and verified public reporting across 2024–2025 — multiple industries, multiple geographies.
before you panic,
measure the blast.
Answer four questions. We'll generate a live severity score and the first four actions your team should take right now — before anyone touches a keyboard in anger.
▸ First four actions
- Isolate affected hosts from network — do not power off.
- Preserve memory & volume shadow copies on at least one host.
- Revoke credentials used in last 72h; rotate service accounts.
- Open a response bridge with PWN•ALL before touching backups.
four phases.
one bridge.
We run every incident on a single, audited response bridge — your team, our DFIR analysts, a shared timeline, and receipts at every step.
Contain
Network-level isolation without killing evidence. We stop lateral movement at the switch, block C2, freeze privileged accounts, and preserve memory on pivot hosts.
Scope
Forensic triage of every encrypted asset, initial-access vector, persistence, and exfiltration traces. We identify the strain, the operator TTPs, and the dwell time.
Recover
Clean-room rebuilds, backup integrity checks, decryptor matching against our internal library, and — where keys exist — staged decryption of production data.
Harden
Root-cause remediation, identity cleanup, EDR/MFA rollout where missing, and a written report your board, insurer, and regulator can actually read.
every strain has a
weak seam. we find it.
Our decryptor research library and negotiation intel are refreshed from real cases we close every week. If there's a way to recover without paying, we find it first.

The moment you call, a shared bridge spins up with timestamped actions, evidence custody, and a live severity board. Your insurer and legal team can join read-only.
No mystery. No silence.
Every PWN-ALL incident runs on the same bridge template your regulators and cyber-insurer already accept. You see what we see. You approve every destructive action. Nothing is encrypted, deleted, or paid without your sign-off.
After containment, you walk away with a chain-of-custody report, an MITRE ATT&CK-mapped timeline, and a 30/60/90-day hardening plan — not a PDF full of screenshots.
the questions
people ask at 3 am.
Should we pay the ransom?
Almost never the right first move. We negotiate only as a last-resort lever while recovery options are evaluated, and only with legal and sanctions clearance. In ~94% of our cases, full or partial recovery is possible without payment.
How fast can you be on the bridge?
Our SLA is under 60 minutes from first call to an analyst on a shared bridge with your team. Containment guidance usually starts inside the first 15 minutes while scoping runs in parallel.
We already powered everything off. Is that bad?
It's not ideal — volatile memory holds keys, injected processes, and operator traces — but it's recoverable. Do not boot anything back up until we're on the line. We have procedures for cold-triage.
Do you work with our cyber-insurer?
Yes. PWN-ALL is structured to plug into standard IR panels. We provide the insurer with timestamped actions, cost controls, and a final report in the format most carriers accept.
What if data was stolen as well as encrypted?
We scope the exfil separately: what was taken, from where, for how long. We then coordinate disclosure, legal, and — where appropriate — leak-site monitoring and operator communications.

Every hour you delay, backups get wiped, evidence expires, and operators move deeper. PWN-ALL answers day-of, weekend, holiday — the clock doesn't care, and neither do we.
50% of attacks still end in encryption. Don't wait to find out which half.
