/ The four habits of a badger

Watch. Burrow. Bite. Track.

A real badger doesn’t pace the perimeter. It maps the ground, digs in, defends with teeth, and remembers every scent. Our practice is built the same way — four habits, always running.

01 / WATCH

Map the ground

We learn your environment before anything happens to it — every identity, every crown jewel, every well-trodden path. Your incident plan is rehearsed, not written.

  • Crown-jewel mapping
  • Identity drift baselines
  • Quarterly tabletop drills
02 / BURROW

Dig in early

Sett, our private IR platform, sits inside your tenant. When something moves, we already have the runbook, the access, and the context to act in seconds.

  • Tenanted runbooks
  • Pre-authorised actions
  • One-touch isolation
03 / BITE

Contain, eradicate

A regional IR lead — not a queue — picks up. Identity, endpoint and network are worked simultaneously. Counsel and comms join under structured roles, not chaos.

  • 20-minute lead-on-call
  • Forensics from minute zero
  • Regulator-ready record
04 / TRACK

Remember the scent

Every engagement feeds a regional threat library — actors, infrastructure, lures — that protects every other client. Yesterday’s incident shapes tomorrow’s defence.

  • Actor library
  • Stealer & leak watch
  • Sector advisories
/ Why time matters

A retainer that never sleeps.

Most breach retainers go cold the moment the contract is signed. Ours runs daily — scoring your environment, drilling your team, and pre-loading context so the first responder is never starting from zero.

/ The 20-minute promise

From pager to contained.

When you signal, a qualified IR lead — not a tier-1 dispatcher — is on a triage call within twenty minutes, with your environment already loaded.

STEP 01

Signal

One number. One PGP-signed email. One panic button in Sett. All routed to the on-call lead, never a queue.

STEP 02

Loaded triage

Your asset graph, last drill notes, and current EASM posture render before the first word is spoken.

STEP 03

War room

Encrypted multi-party room spins up. Counsel, comms, and regulators join under structured roles.

STEP 04

Containment

Regional IR engineers act on identity, endpoint, and network planes simultaneously. Forensics is captured from minute zero.

/ Where we work

Two bases, one practice.

Badger Guard operates from Tel Aviv and Portugal, with practitioners covering both regions and serving clients worldwide. Two bases, one rotation, full coverage across the working day and the dead of night.

/ How we work

There is a louder kind of IR firm. We aren’t it.

We chose the badger because it’s small, fiercely territorial, and almost impossible to dislodge once it’s dug in. That’s the practice we’ve built — and the things we deliberately don’t do.

// What we won’t do

  • Sell you a 90-page “strategy” before we’ve looked at a single log.
  • Pass your call to an offshore queue at 3 a.m.
  • Charge a retainer to sit dormant until something burns.
  • Ship a generic playbook with your logo glued on the cover.
  • Talk about your incident at conferences.

// What we will do

  • Map your environment in week one and rehearse it every quarter.
  • Put a regional IR lead on the phone within twenty minutes.
  • Earn the retainer every week through drift scoring and intel.
  • Write your runbook around your identity model and your regulators.
  • Treat your incident as if it never happened to anyone but you.
