FAQ
What types of incidents do you respond to?
We handle smart contract exploits, governance attacks, API/key compromise, phishing attacks, and Web2 infrastructure breaches. If it impacts protocol or treasury security, we're ready to help.
Do I need to be under attack to use this service?
No. Many clients use our team to build their playbooks and run simulations before an attack ever happens. We recommend preparation well in advance of major milestones or upgrades.
Can this be bundled with our reviews or bounty program?
Yes. IR is often paired with smart contract audits, bug bounties, or Web2 security reviews for end-to-end protection.
Do you help with public communication during an incident?
Yes. We can support internal updates, public disclosures, and post-mortems. Our priority is helping you retain trust while minimizing confusion or legal risk.
What if we don't have a formal incident response plan yet?
No problem. We help teams at every maturity level. If you don't have a plan in place, we'll help you build one - from threat modeling and team roles to communication workflows and technical remediation steps.
Is this service only for DeFi or smart contract exploits?
No. While we specialize in smart contracts and protocol-layer vulnerabilities, we also respond to key compromises, governance attacks, bridge exploits, Web2 breaches, phishing incidents, cloud misconfigurations, and more.
Can we test our incident readiness without being under attack?
Yes. We offer tabletop simulations and red team–style exercises that mimic real-world threats. These help you pressure-test your internal decision-making and uncover gaps in response coordination.
