What OutBreach does

OutBreach is a London-headquartered boutique cybersecurity incident response firm providing pre-breach preparedness and post-breach response services to organisations primarily in the UK, US, and Middle East. The firm operates through a proprietary four-stage methodology — Plan, Prepare, React, Recover — that structures every engagement and integrates technical, legal, communications, and operational domains. Its core service portfolio spans incident response, digital forensics, threat hunting, malware analysis, threat intelligence, crisis communications, legal and court support, cyber insurance advisory, training and exercises, and advanced tooling (EDR, NTA, TIP, memory forensics). The company serves a mix of mid-sized enterprises and SMBs across financial services, technology, and retail, and holds the UK NCSC Cyber Incident Response Standard certification and Crown Commercial Services supplier status, qualifying it for UK regulated and public-sector work.

The commercial model combines bespoke professional services — sold via annual retainers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum tiers), rapid onboarding for active incidents, and ad-hoc consulting — with four fixed-price packaged products: Inbox IR ($5,000 for a 72-hour Business Email Compromise response), Breach Ready (managed 12-month log retention from $200/month), Media Ready (three-tier crisis communications packages from $2,500 to $10,000), and Outbreach Intelligence (a continuous external threat monitoring and brand protection platform with AI-powered executive reporting on a fixed monthly fee). The Outbreach Intelligence platform aggregates third-party threat feeds including VirusTotal, Shodan, HaveIBeenPwned, Microsoft Graph, and certificate transparency logs, and applies generative AI to translate technical detections into plain-language risk summaries. The firm has handled more than 100 separate incidents and describes its team as having hundreds of years of combined experience, delivered from London, New York, and Dubai.

The company is registered as Outbreach Ltd., a private limited company in England and Wales (company number 15350710), operates with approximately 8 employees, and reports no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or material leadership changes. It markets primarily through thought-leadership content, speaking engagements, and direct enterprise sales supported by a 24/7 emergency hotline.
