The threat landscape is no longer hypothetical.
75% of attacks now involve identity compromise (credential theft, token abuse, MFA bypass)
65% of breaches originate from misconfigurations or unmanaged assets
UK organisations face growing pressure to demonstrate robust cyber resilience: to boards, regulators, auditors, and insurers. Meeting those obligations requires more than technology. It requires expertise built through real incidents and people who understand the UK regulatory environment.
Intrinsic Security’s incident response and forensic capability is UK-based, with a team bringing over 50 years of combined experience in digital forensics, incident response, and cyber security operations, 40 years of combined UK law enforcement and DFIR experience. Backed by a global managed security operation with two active SOC centres in Qatar and India, and cloud-based virtual response infrastructure across 21 countries enabling rapid, in-country deployment of investigative capability, we deliver the depth of a global firm with the regulatory understanding and proximity of a UK specialist.
Our services span continuous managed detection and response, incident response readiness, offensive security testing, forensic investigation, and compliance advisory.

Maturity grows over time: effort reduces, costs follow, outcomes improve
Most IR retainers charge for emergency cover you hope never to use. Responders arrive cold, with no prior knowledge of your environment, your systems, or your regulatory obligations. Between incidents, you receive nothing.
You get value before any incident occurs. Every month of the contract, we are developing your documentation, training your teams, and running exercises that satisfy ISO 27001, FCA, cyber insurance, and audit requirements. If nothing happens, you still have tangible, auditable deliverables.
When something does happen, our team already knows you. The responders handling your incident are the same specialists who built your IRP, ran your exercises, and trained your staff. There is no onboarding under pressure. We already understand your environment, your escalation paths, and your regulatory obligations.
Our credentials are operational, not theoretical. Our team brings over 50 years of combined experience in digital forensics and incident response, including almost 40 years of combined UK law enforcement and DFIR experience. We have responded to incidents involving REvil, RYUK, Conti, Hive, and Lockbit3. Our largest single deployment covered 75,000 hosts across 11 countries.
Costs reduce as your maturity grows. Year 1 involves foundational development: IRP creation, training, and initial exercises. By Year 2, that becomes annual review, refresher training, and scenario variation. The effort reduces, and your pricing reflects that.
