Request an urgent callback

Leave your number and a line about what is happening, and we will call you back as quickly as we can. To reach us straight away, call +1 (647) 547-5473 and press 9.

For example: an email account was taken over, or clients received a suspicious invoice from us. Please do not include passwords.

Help with a suspected account takeover or email compromise in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. The attacker is locked out, the records are investigated, and the gap that let them in is closed.

On the first call we check this is the right project and talk about timing. You get a fixed price and a start date before any work begins.

Response

What you get

Depending on the project, you get findings and recommendations, changes made to your systems, or both. The documentation is yours to keep, whatever you decide next.

Containment

Active sessions revoked, passwords and sign-in methods reset, and the attacker's foothold removed, including forwarding rules, mailbox rules, and connected applications.

Investigation timeline

Sign-ins, sessions, mailbox changes, app access and affected files in one timeline, showing what the evidence says the attacker reached.

Clean-up and hardening

The weakness that let the attacker in is closed, whether that was missing MFA, a legacy sign-in path, or unnecessary administrator privileges.

Ongoing security recommendations

A plan to bring the cleaned environment into Managed Security & Compliance, so sign-ins, email, and devices are watched by a human-led team from then on.

Project steps

Nothing in your systems changes until the tasks and access have been agreed with you.

First call

The first call covers the platform, the affected accounts and who can give us admin access.

Containment

Active sessions are ended, passwords and sign-in methods are reset, and anything the attacker set up to keep access is removed.

Investigation

Sign-in, mailbox and app records are checked to work out what was accessed, sent or changed.

Clean-up and hardening

Unauthorized changes are removed and the weaknesses that allowed the attack are fixed.

Handoff

You receive the investigation timeline, a record of every change and recommendations for ongoing security.

When this project helps

A staff mailbox is sending messages nobody on the team wrote

A client or supplier received a payment or banking change request that your business did not send

Someone approved a sign-in prompt they did not start

Forwarding rules, mailbox rules, or connected apps appeared that nobody set up

Frequently asked questions.

Is ongoing monitoring included?

No. This project deals with the incident itself. Ongoing monitoring and response come with Managed Security & Compliance, which is a separate service.

Who makes legal, insurance and notification decisions?

Your own advisers and leadership. Decisions about legal steps, insurance claims, privacy reporting and telling clients stay with them, and the investigation timeline gives them the facts to work from.
