Incident Response Lifecycle

A structured, six-phase approach aligned with NIST SP 800-61 and ISO/IEC 27035 standards.

01
Detection & Analysis

Automated monitoring systems and manual reports trigger initial triage. Our SOC analysts classify the incident severity, validate the threat, and begin evidence collection using our proprietary Aevum Threat Intelligence Platform.

Phase Duration: 15 min - 2 hours
02
Containment

Immediate isolation of affected systems, network segmentation, and threat neutralization. Our automated containment systems can isolate compromised nodes within seconds while maintaining business continuity for unaffected services.

Phase Duration: 30 min - 4 hours
03
Eradication

Complete removal of threats, patching of vulnerabilities, and credential resets. Our security team performs deep forensic analysis to identify the root cause and ensure no remnants of the threat persist across any connected systems.

Phase Duration: 2 - 24 hours
04
Recovery

Controlled restoration of systems from verified clean backups, system reconfiguration, and validation testing. Services are brought back online incrementally with enhanced monitoring to detect any recurrence.

Phase Duration: 4 - 72 hours
05
Post-Incident Review

Comprehensive post-mortem analysis documenting timeline, impact assessment, response effectiveness, and lessons learned. A formal incident report is generated and distributed to relevant stakeholders within 5 business days.

Phase Duration: 1 - 5 business days
06
Improvement & Prevention

Implementation of corrective and preventive actions, policy updates, security control enhancements, and staff retraining. Findings feed directly into our continuous improvement cycle across all 400 subsidiaries.

Phase Duration: 1 - 4 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our incident response and reporting processes.

How do I know if I should report an incident?
+
If you observe or suspect any unusual system behavior, unauthorized access, data anomalies, phishing attempts, physical security breaches, or any activity that may compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of Aevum Zenth assets, you should report it immediately. When in doubt, always report β€” our team will triage and determine the appropriate response. False positives are welcome and encouraged. There is no penalty for good-faith reporting. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly.
Is my report kept confidential?
+
Absolutely. Aevum Zenth maintains strict confidentiality for all incident reporters. We operate a non-retaliation policy and protect the identity of all reporters in accordance with our corporate ethics policy and applicable whistleblower protection laws. Reports are accessible only to authorized security personnel on a need-to-know basis. External reporters may request anonymity, and we honor such requests wherever legally permissible.
What happens after I submit a report?
+
Upon submission, you'll receive an immediate acknowledgment with a unique incident reference number. Our SOC analysts will triage the report within the timeframe corresponding to the severity level (15 minutes for Critical to 8 hours for Low). You'll be updated on the classification and can track progress using your reference number through our status portal. For significant incidents, a dedicated case manager will provide regular updates until resolution.
Can external parties report incidents?
+
Yes. We welcome reports from customers, partners, vendors, and security researchers. Our Vulnerability Disclosure Program specifically encourages responsible disclosure from the security research community with rewards up to $250,000 for valid critical vulnerabilities. External reporters can use our web form, email portal, or phone hotline. We guarantee a response within 72 hours for external submissions and maintain a 90-day safe harbor period for research activities.
How does Aevum Zenth handle data breach notifications?
+
We maintain region-specific data breach notification protocols compliant with all applicable laws. In the EU, notifications are submitted to supervisory authorities within 72 hours per GDPR. In the US, we comply with all 50 state breach notification laws with varying timelines. For HIPAA-covered incidents, notifications are issued within 60 days. Our legal and compliance teams work alongside the security team to ensure timely and accurate notifications to affected individuals, regulators, and law enforcement as required.
How often does Aevum Zenth test its incident response capabilities?
+
We conduct comprehensive incident response tabletop exercises quarterly across all major divisions. Full-scale simulation exercises, including coordinated multi-division cyber-attack scenarios, are conducted biannually. Additionally, our SOC team participates in red team/purple team exercises monthly, and all 400 subsidiaries complete annual incident response training. Our response plans are reviewed and updated following every significant incident and at minimum annually.
