Incident Response Assurance for Regulated Organisations
Structured validation. Assured escalation. Executive confidence.
Lykos Defence partners with regulated and high-consequence organisations across Australia and New Zealand to provide senior-led incident response assurance before a breach exposes gaps.
We combine structured validation with defined escalation support, ensuring your incident response capability is defensible under regulatory and executive scrutiny.
Most Incident Response Plans Are Never Truly Stress-Tested
Many organisations believe they’re prepared because:
- A plan exists
- A tabletop exercise was run
- An IR provider is “on call”
Serious incidents reveal what has not been validated.
Preparation becomes visible under pressure.
Our focus isn’t reactive labour, it’s structured assurance.
Our Model
Every engagement is built around three pillars:
Assured Escalation
Defined SLAs and direct access to senior incident responders already familiar with your environment and risk profile.
Structured Validation
Planned IR plan reviews, scenario workshops, tabletop exercises, and threat hunts delivered across a defined 12-month roadmap.
Executive & Regulatory Confidence
Clear reporting and externally defensible readiness posture aligned to recognised frameworks.
We intentionally limit the number of active retainer clients to preserve continuity and partner-level involvement.
