Post-Incident
Review
Dig into what happened, why, and how to prevent it from happening again. Root cause analysis, lessons learned, and a clear remediation roadmap.
Overview
A Post-Incident Review (PIR) — sometimes called a post-mortem — is a structured process conducted after a cybersecurity incident to understand exactly what happened, why it happened, and how to prevent it from happening again. Unlike a blame-focused review, a CYBRAXIS PIR emphasizes learning, system improvement, and process maturity.
We facilitate the review with all relevant stakeholders — IT, security, operations, legal, and management — using a structured framework that covers timeline reconstruction, root cause analysis, detection gaps, response effectiveness, and actionable recommendations. The output is a prioritized improvement plan with clear owners and timelines.
