Prevention failssometimes. Be ready tocarry on anyway.
SIRI Law LLP helps organisations prepare for cyber incidents, keep operating through them and recover quickly, with response plans, rehearsals, recovery design and legal readiness built by advocates and security engineers together.
Resilience is the difference between an incident that costs a weekend and one that costs a quarter. It comes from decisions made before anything breaks: who is in charge, what must keep running, what can be restored, and who says what to whom.

Roadmap
Building resilience, in five moves.
A resilient organisation is built in layers. We work through them in order of impact.
01
Weeks one to two
Know what matters
You cannot protect everything equally.
Critical systems, data and processes
Impact of downtime on customers and revenue
Regulatory and contractual duties
Key third parties and dependencies
02
Weeks two to five
Design recovery
Decide what recovers first, and how fast.
Recovery time and recovery point targets
Backup strategy, including offline and immutable copies
Alternate ways of working if systems are down
Access to funds, staff and decision-makers
03
Weeks four to eight
Write the playbooks
People follow plans they can find and use.
Incident response plan with clear roles
Playbooks for ransomware, data leaks and outages
Reporting timelines and notification templates
Escalation, legal privilege and evidence handling
04
Quarterly
Rehearse
Practice exposes what paper hides.

Where we come in
Five weaknesses we often see.
Each looks minor until the day it decides the outcome.
Backups that were never restored
A backup you have not tested is a hope. Restores fail for reasons nobody discovered until the incident.
A plan nobody has read
Plans stored in one person's inbox do not help at three in the morning. Roles and contacts must be known and reachable offline.
Critical vendors with no exit plan
If a key supplier is down or compromised, contracts and alternatives decide how long you are down.
No decision authority
Delay in deciding who can isolate systems, pay for help or notify customers costs more than most technical failures.
Exercises skipped as too busy
The first real incident becomes the first rehearsal. That is the most expensive way to learn.
Incident in progress?
Facing an attack right now? Call our 24/7 line.
For emergencies, call now. For preparation, book a free first consultation. Calls are answered by an advocate.
It is the ability to prepare for, withstand, respond to and recover from cyber incidents while keeping essential operations running. Prevention is part of it, but resilience assumes prevention will sometimes fail.
We help you plan, test and recover.
How is this different from cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity focuses on preventing and detecting attacks. Cyber resilience focuses on limiting the impact and recovering quickly when one succeeds. Most organisations need both.
We work with your security team or provide both.
What is a tabletop exercise?
A facilitated discussion where leaders and technical staff work through a realistic incident scenario, decide what to do and note gaps in plans, roles and communication.
It usually takes a few hours and produces a written findings report.
How often should we test our plan?
At least annually, and after major changes to systems, suppliers or leadership. Regulated businesses may need more frequent testing.
We schedule exercises and track improvements.
Do our backups protect us from ransomware?
Only if they are separated from the network attackers can reach, protected from tampering, and restored successfully in testing.
We review your backup design and recommend fixes.
Does resilience planning help with regulators and customers?
Yes. Documented plans, exercises and reporting timelines are what regulators, auditors and enterprise customers ask to see after or before an incident.
We help you produce that evidence.
How much does this cost?
Planning and exercises are scoped after a short call, with fixed fees where possible. Continuous readiness and 24/7 response can run through a SIRI Shield retainer.
Fees are agreed in writing before work starts.
