What We Do
Incident Response Services
When a breach occurs, speed and expertise determine the outcome. XTrivain's incident response team works active incidents across Pakistan, deploying remotely within hours and on-site where required. We contain the breach, investigate what happened, and get your organisation operational again.
Ransomware, business email compromise, insider threats, and advanced persistent threats are all active in Pakistan's threat landscape. Our team has responded to incidents in banking, manufacturing, healthcare, and government environments.
Breach Containment
Immediate isolation of compromised systems to stop lateral movement and data exfiltration. Remote containment within hours, on-site deployment across Pakistan where required.
Ransomware Response
Assessment of encryption scope, backup integrity, and decryption viability. Recovery without paying the ransom is the objective. We have achieved this in the majority of Pakistani ransomware engagements we have handled.
Digital Forensics
Full attack path reconstruction: initial access vector, persistence mechanisms, lateral movement, and data accessed or exfiltrated. Chain-of-custody evidence preserved for legal proceedings.
Regulatory Notification
SBP, SECP, PTA, and NCCPA notification requirements vary by sector and breach type. We draft the regulatory notifications and help you meet mandatory timelines without unnecessary disclosure.
Business Continuity
Keeping critical operations running while investigation and recovery proceed. We prioritise system restoration by business impact so your most essential functions recover first.
Post-Incident Hardening
After containment, we close the access path the attacker used and identify other vulnerable entry points in the same class. The breach becomes a documented security improvement.
Threat Actor Attribution
Where evidence supports it, we attribute the attack to a known threat actor or technique cluster. This informs your remediation priorities and future defensive posture.
IR Retainer Service
Pre-contracted clients receive a 1-hour response SLA and a named incident commander. When every minute counts, retainer clients go to the front of the queue.

Regulatory Notification Obligations
Pakistani organisations in regulated sectors have mandatory breach notification timelines. Missing these timelines compounds the regulatory consequences of the breach itself.
Banks and financial institutions must notify the State Bank of Pakistan within defined timeframes following a cyber incident. XTrivain prepares and coordinates the SBP notification as part of the IR engagement.
Listed companies and SECP-regulated financial entities must report material cybersecurity incidents. We advise on what constitutes a reportable incident and draft the required disclosures.
Telecoms operators and licensed service providers have notification obligations to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority following significant security incidents.
The National Cyber Crime Prevention Authority may require notification for incidents involving critical national infrastructure or significant data breaches affecting Pakistani citizens.
