What is Incident Response?

A cyber attack brings business operations to a halt and can cause high costs. Incident Response limits the damage before it spirals further out of control and restores normal operations. aramido follows the standards of BSI and NIST, from the initial scoping to restoring operations. So that you can focus on your business, we take care of the defense and the preservation of evidence, whether at your data center, in the office, or in a production facility in the surrounding area.

Incident Response for the Frankfurt business region

One location, many industries

Frankfurt is more than a financial center. Hundreds of suppliers serve logistics from the airport, the chemical and pharmaceutical site around Industriepark Höchst shapes the surrounding region, and trade fairs and retail draw customers from across Europe. Banks and insurers also play a role, with IT holding a critical position in them. A cyber attack does not affect all of these businesses to the same degree, but always with the same urgency. aramido responds to this urgency directly: we guide you through the attack, prepare the notifications to the supervisor, and make sure your operations keep running as quickly as possible.

BAIT, MaRisk and DORA

For banks and financial service providers, BAIT and MaRisk set out requirements for IT incident management and outsourcing. Since January 2025, the European DORA regulation has gradually been taking their place and sets deadlines for reporting IT incidents. aramido knows these requirements and aligns the defense, the preservation of evidence, and the documentation with them. Because the obligations cannot be transferred by law, responsibility for the notification and the review of the implementation remains in your house or with your auditors. aramido supports you professionally so that you can meet them with confidence.

Frequently asked questions about incident response in Frankfurt

You briefly describe the situation. We assess the urgency and stop the spread before coordinating the next steps for recovery with you. This saves you time in the phase where minutes matter.
Our aramido Response Team (aRT) is available 365 days a year during core hours (8 AM to 6 PM) via hotline and email. Thanks to our proximity to the Rhein-Main region, we can be on site quickly when needed. Customers with a framework agreement receive an initial response within 4 hours during core hours. Containment typically takes one to three days; the final report is usually delivered one to two weeks after the incident.
During eradication, we remove backdoors, hidden accounts, and malware and close the original security gap permanently. Sensitive monitoring alerts us to any renewed access attempts immediately.
We secure evidence according to recognized standards such as ISO/IEC 27037 and maintain an unbroken chain of custody. Our reports are accepted by lawyers and insurers.
The cost depends on the specific incident, the number of affected systems, and the effort required. In a first emergency call, we identify the main efforts and provide a transparent cost estimate.
Yes. In addition to Frankfurt, we support companies throughout the entire Rhein-Main region, including Offenbach, Hanau, Bad Homburg, Eschborn, Wiesbaden, Darmstadt, and Mainz, remotely and on site as needed. We are also available to you in the neighboring Rhein-Neckar metropolitan region.
We align the defense and the preservation of evidence with the requirements of the BaFin, such as BAIT and MaRisk. The work is documented and traceable so that your institution can use it to meet its own supervisory obligations. The review of the implementation is reserved by law for the audit and the supervisor, not for aramido. Your institution carries out this obligation itself, and no external service provider changes that.
Under DORA, your institution must report a major IT incident, usually within 24 hours of becoming aware of it. We deliver the technical facts you need, such as affected systems, the time of the incident, and the suspected cause. You submit the notification itself to the BaFin; aramido can support you professionally along the way.

Evidence that holds up to review and processes

Digital forensics that convince

Whether it is an insurer, a supervisor, or a legal dispute, whoever reviews an incident needs reliable evidence. Forensics clarifies what happened and turns damage into a lesson. We secure traces to standards such as ISO/IEC 27037 and maintain an unbroken chain of custody. This produces reports that stand up to close scrutiny, for example by lawyers, insurers, or in internal review.

Incident Response Readiness

Whether an incident turns into chaos or a sequence of planned steps is decided in advance. Readiness builds exactly those processes and response capabilities before the attack demands them. Together with your team, aramido examines where your workflows have gaps and closes them with you. This is how your response works reliably even under realistic pressure, whether at a data center, in the office, or at a site in the surrounding area.
