What is an incident response retainer?
An incident response retainer is a service agreement that secures immediate access to cybersecurity experts with pre-negotiated terms and rates. This allows organizations to bypass lengthy legal approvals during a crisis and rapidly deploy a team to contain a breach.
Beyond emergency response, the Mandiant Retainer allows you to repurpose unused hours for proactive services—such as readiness assessments, tabletop exercises, penetration testing, and training—ensuring you realize value from your investment even if a security incident never occurs.

The retainer is designed to be an extension of your team, adapting to your needs as they evolve:
- Two-hour response time: Call on Mandiant experts 24x7 in the event of a suspected or active breach
