New Incident Response Service Strengthens Cyber Readiness for Local Sectors

By: Press Release Distribution Service

vCISO.One has launched an Incident Response & Digital Forensics service to help councils, NFPs, and SMBs better prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents. The offering includes IR planning, tabletop testing, forensic analysis, and real-time support during breaches.

Brisbane City, Australia, August 24, 2025 -- As cyberattacks continue to escalate in scale and frequency, a new service launched by Brisbane-based cybersecurity consultancy vCISO.One is aiming to improve incident readiness and resilience across Australia’s small and mid-sized organisations.

The Incident Response & Digital Forensics service offers structured support for organisations facing security breaches — including ransomware, phishing, and data compromise — while also helping them prepare with tested incident response plans and forensic capabilities.

The launch comes amid growing expectations from regulators, cyber insurers, and clients for organisations to not only respond quickly to breaches, but also preserve evidence, communicate effectively, and demonstrate lessons learned.

“We’re seeing a shift where cyber readiness is no longer optional — it’s an operational expectation,” said Andrew Egoroff, Principal Consultant at vCISO.One. “This service is about offering practical, accessible support to organisations who may not have a dedicated security team but still face serious risks.”

The offering is tailored to resource-limited environments such as local councils, not-for-profits, and small businesses — sectors often targeted due to underinvestment in security infrastructure. Recent government data highlights that SMBs account for a large proportion of reported cyber incidents, with many lacking formal response plans or reporting protocols.

Service Components Include:

- Incident response plan development aligned with Australian and international frameworks (e.g. ISM, NIST CSF, ISO 27001)

- Tabletop exercises for executive and operational teams to test real-world decision-making

- On-call assistance for active incidents involving malware, business email compromise, or system outages

- Digital forensics and root cause analysis to understand how incidents occurred and what data was affected

- Guidance on communication with boards, regulators, and external stakeholders

According to vCISO.One, the service has already been used by organisations responding to phishing and supply chain attacks, providing structured containment strategies, forensic evidence for insurers, and recovery plans tailored to each client’s context.

“The goal is not just technical containment, but organisational clarity,” Egoroff noted. “Many teams are caught off guard not just by the threat, but by uncertainty around roles, escalation paths, and who needs to be informed.”

The service also supports compliance requirements for frameworks like Essential Eight, ISO 27001, and cyber insurance providers, many of which now mandate demonstrated incident preparedness.

While the offering includes rapid response capabilities, emphasis is also placed on proactive readiness — a trend that reflects wider government recommendations for lifting baseline cyber resilience across sectors.
