Incident Response & Forensics

When something breaks through, you need calm hands. We help you contain, eradicate, and write the after-action.

  • Retainer-based response readiness
  • Live containment and eradication
  • Forensic timeline reconstruction
  • Tabletop exercises and runbook drills

/ 006

Compliance Without Theater

SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI readiness that produces a real control environment, not just a clean audit.

  • Framework gap assessment
  • Control design and evidence workflows
  • Policy authoring grounded in operations
  • Audit preparation and liaison

Vendor neutral. Practitioner led.

FWP Network is a small, intentionally focused cybersecurity consulting practice. We are practitioners first. Every engagement is led by people who have actually run security programs, not by account managers who hand work off to junior staff.

We do not resell licenses, take vendor commissions, or push tools we would not use ourselves. Our recommendations come from what your environment actually needs, sized to your real risk and budget.

Our work spans North America and Asia-Pacific, with remote-first delivery and on-site presence when an engagement genuinely calls for it.

Four things that make engagements work.

We are deliberately small, deliberately senior, and deliberately honest about what your environment actually needs.

01

Senior eyes from day one

Every engagement is scoped and led by a senior practitioner. No bait-and-switch, no junior consultants billing at senior rates after the contract is signed.

02

Tooling that fits the org

We work across most major security platforms and choose tools based on your scale, your team's strengths, and what you already own, not what pays the best referral.

03

Documentation you'll actually use

Runbooks, policies, and detection logic written for the people who run them, not for a binder on a shelf. Every deliverable is meant to be operational on day one.

04

Available when it counts

Incident response retainers come with a real contact path and a real response window. When the page goes off, you reach a human who knows your environment.

Sectors where we have done the work.

Each industry brings different risks, regulations, and adversary patterns. Click any tile to read more.

Financial Services

/ banks · fintech · wealth

Regulatory pressure, high-value targets, and complex third-party exposure. We help with control design, vendor risk, and detection coverage tuned to financial fraud patterns.

Healthcare

/ providers · payers · health-tech

HIPAA-driven controls plus growing ransomware exposure. We build segmented architectures, response retainers, and PHI-aware monitoring for clinical and admin environments.

SaaS & Technology

/ b2b saas · platforms

Customer trust is the product. We help SaaS teams meet SOC 2 and ISO requirements while building a security program that scales with engineering velocity.

Manufacturing

/ industrial · ot · iiot

IT and OT environments converging fast. We help segment, monitor, and respond across both sides without disrupting production lines or shop-floor operations.

Retail & eCommerce

/ stores · digital commerce

Payment exposure, web app risk, and seasonal scale. We help with PCI scope reduction, fraud-aware monitoring, and incident readiness during peak periods.

Legal & Professional Services

/ law firms · consulting

High-value data, sensitive client matters, and increasing client security questionnaires. We help build defensible programs that meet client expectations.

Education

/ higher-ed · k-12 districts

Open environments, limited budgets, and rising ransomware targeting. We build pragmatic programs that fit institutional realities and student data obligations.

Energy & Utilities

/ power · oil & gas · water

Critical infrastructure with serious threat actors and complex regulatory layers. We work alongside engineering teams to harden ICS-adjacent systems.

Nonprofits & NGOs

/ mission-driven orgs

Resource-constrained but increasingly targeted. We help nonprofits stretch security budgets and meet donor or grant-driven security requirements.

Government Contractors

/ cmmc · fedramp pathways

CMMC, NIST 800-171, and FedRAMP pathways. We help contractors get ready for assessment and operate the controls long after the auditors leave.

Honest words from engagements that mattered.

"

We brought them in to clean up a SIEM that was generating more alerts than our team could read. Within six weeks the noise was gone and we were actually catching things. Straightforward people to work with.

M. Carter Director of Security Operations
"

What I appreciated most was that they pushed back when our internal team wanted the wrong tool. That kind of vendor-neutral input is rare. The cloud posture work paid for itself before the engagement ended.

R. Patel Head of Information Security
"

Our SOC 2 readiness assessment was useful precisely because it was uncomfortable. They flagged real issues and helped us fix them rather than papering over gaps. Audit went smoothly because of that.

Most engagements start with a 30-minute call. No sales theater, no pressure. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.
