Incident Response

Incident response policies and playbooks, built for your environment.

When an incident hits, nobody has time to figure out who does what. SubRosa develops the incident response policies and playbooks that turn a chaotic event into a set of clear, rehearsed steps your team can follow under pressure.

Policies and playbooks, defined

What are incident response playbooks?

An incident response policy sets the framework: who is responsible, when the plan activates, and what your obligations are. Incident response playbooks are the step-by-step procedures for specific incident types, ransomware, business email compromise, data breach, so responders know exactly what to do at each stage. Together they turn your response from improvisation into a repeatable, defensible process that also satisfies auditors and regulators.

What we develop

From policy to step-by-step playbook.

We build the full set of documents your team needs to respond consistently.

IR policy development

A clear incident response policy defining roles, activation criteria, authority, and regulatory obligations.

Detailed playbooks

Step-by-step playbooks for your most likely incident types, mapped to your tools, teams, and environment.

Communication templates

Pre-written internal and external communications so the right message goes out fast, even under pressure.

Escalation procedures

Defined escalation paths and decision criteria, so it is never unclear who to call or when to invoke the plan.

Why SubRosa

Written by former incident responders.

From real incidents

Our playbooks come from people who have run real breaches, so they hold up when it counts, not just on paper.

Tailored, not templated

Everything is built around your environment, tooling, and team, not a generic document you have to adapt yourself.

Audit-ready

Policies and playbooks are mapped to the frameworks and regulations you answer to, so they satisfy auditors too.

Every playbook, one click away.

Playbooks where your team can reach them.

Your policies and playbooks live in Sable, versioned, assigned, and linked to live incidents, so when something happens your team follows the current procedure from inside the platform, not a document buried on a share drive.
