That Holds Up
When It's Tested.
We stop active threats, harden what matters, and put senior responders on speed-dial. Not a security theater company. The team CIOs call when they need it done right the first time.
Services
Pick Your Move
Ransomware Remediation
When the worst happens, we engage within 1 to 4 hours. Forensic preservation, clean-room recovery, business resumption in parallel.
Network Hardening
Reduce the attack surface. Segment what matters. Zero-trust architecture and continuous validation.
Threat Response
24/7 detection, triage, and containment from senior analysts, not a tier-1 ticket factory.
Endpoint Deployment
Roll out EDR, MDM, and DLP across thousands of endpoints without the day-2 mess.
Penetration Remediation
Turn pentest findings into closed tickets. Prioritized, executed, and re-tested.
How We Engage
Our
Approach
-
Critical Assessment
Where you stand against threats today, frameworks, controls, gaps. NIST CSF, CIS, or ISO 27001 alignment as required.
-
Prioritized Roadmap
Risk-ranked plan with milestones, owners, and a defensible budget. We tell you what matters first, and why.
-
Execute With You
Senior practitioners paired with your team. Daily standups during IR, weekly during programs. No surprises.
-
Validate & Hand Off
Tabletop exercises, post-mortems, and a 90-day post-launch tune-up baked in. You should be able to run this without us.
Partner of Choice
Why CIOs Pick Tech Critic
Senior practitioners, not pass-throughs
Every engagement is led by a senior IR responder or security architect with 15+ years of enterprise experience. No junior consultants learning on your nickel.
Vendor-neutral by design
We recommend what's right for your stack and your risk profile, never what pays the highest partner margin. We carry no quotas from CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, or anyone else.
Battle-tested playbooks
Our IR runbooks come from real incidents at financial, healthcare, and manufacturing clients. We don't workshop frameworks. We run them.
24/7 retainer option
Add Tech Critic to your speed-dial. Sub-4-hour response, named senior responders, and pre-negotiated SOWs so contracting doesn't slow down containment.
You've Got Q's
We've Got A's
Don't see your question? Just ask.
How fast can you respond to an active ransomware incident?
Typically within 1 to 4 hours for retainer clients; under 8 hours for cold-call engagements. We isolate affected systems, preserve forensic evidence, and stand up clean recovery infrastructure in parallel.
What frameworks do you align to?
NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Critical Security Controls v8, ISO 27001/27002, HIPAA Security Rule, PCI DSS 4.0, SOC 2. We map to whichever frameworks apply to your business and pick the one that drives the most leverage.
Do you offer 24/7 incident response retainers?
Yes. Most clients run a retainer with named senior responders, pre-negotiated SOWs, and quarterly tabletops. Pricing is transparent and includes a number of pre-paid hours per quarter.
Can you work with our existing security tools?
Yes. We're vendor-neutral and have hands-on depth across CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender, Palo Alto, Cisco, Splunk, Sentinel, and the open-source stack. We extend what works and replace only what doesn't.
Do you negotiate with ransomware threat actors?
We don't negotiate ransom directly, that's a regulated activity. We coordinate with specialized negotiators, your cyber-insurance carrier, and law enforcement, and we provide the forensic and technical evidence they need.
