Was: Scrambling across PDFs   Now: Instant, cited

⏱️

Parallel Regulatory Clock Tracking

SEC Item 1.05, GDPR Article 33, HIPAA, NY DFS, state breach laws, cyber insurance, NIS2, DORA — every clock auto-tracked in parallel from the moment you declare. Zero spreadsheet math.

Was: Outlook calendar + prayers   Now: Auto-tracked

📋

Auto-Generated After-Action Reviews

The moment you close the incident, IR-OS produces a board-ready AAR from the hash-chained event ledger: timeline, what worked, gaps with severity, SLA compliance, regulatory status, remediation plan with owners.

Was: 40 hours of writing   Now: 2 minutes

🔒

Hash-Chained Defensible Record

SHA-256 hash-chained append-only event ledger. Every decision, notification, and handoff cryptographically timestamped. Regulator-proof, plaintiff-proof, board-proof under Federal Rule of Evidence 901.

Was: "We think that happened"   Now: Cryptographic proof

Every one of these works on day one. You don't wait for a 6-month implementation. You don't wait for a consultant. You log in, answer some questions, and you have AI superpowers by lunchtime.

The drudgery you skip.
The outcomes you keep.

Nobody's real reason for buying a CIRM platform is "I love writing IR plans." The real reason is the opposite. Here's what changes the day you turn IR-OS on.

Before — the drudgery 😩
  • 📄 Download a 60-page IR plan template. Never finish it.
  • 🗓️ Form a committee to pick the IRC team. Months pass.
  • ⏰ Track 6 regulatory clocks in an Outlook calendar.
  • 🕵️ Reconstruct "who knew what when" from Slack + memory.
  • 📞 Call the broker who calls the carrier — hope you beat the clock.
  • ✍️ Write a 40-hour after-action report for the board.
  • ⚠️ Pray your cyber insurance claim isn't denied.
After — the superpowers ⚡
  • Plan Coach generates a tailored, regulator-mapped plan in 15 min.
  • IRC Recommender assigns 6 roles + 2 backups each from your org chart.
  • Every regulatory clock auto-tracked in parallel from declaration.
  • Hash-chained ledger proves to the second what was known when.
  • Insurance first-notice automated — coverage protected.
  • AAR auto-generated the moment you close the incident.
  • Board-ready proof. Regulator-ready proof. Plaintiff-ready proof.

Bottom line: you get the outcome a 6-week consulting engagement and a 40-hour AAR writing session would produce — in minutes, not months, with AI that cites every source.

What Is IR-OS?

TL;DR: IR-OS is a Cyber Incident Response Management (CIRM) platform that coordinates the human side of cyber incident response — roles, decisions, regulatory clocks, stakeholder communications, and a cryptographically defensible record. Every workflow is extracted from 150+ real C-Suite tabletop exercises.

IR-OS complements detection tools like SIEM and EDR. Where those answer "what is happening?", IR-OS answers "who decides, when, and how do we prove it?" It is built on frameworks including NIST SP 800-61 and aligned to regulatory regimes including the SEC Item 1.05 four-business-day rule and GDPR Article 33's 72-hour clock.

Key Takeaway: According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report and the IBM Cost of a Data Breach analysis, most breach cost is concentrated in containment time — which is a coordination problem, not a detection problem. IR-OS closes that gap. Read our data-backed coordination gap analysis, the 2026 incident response playbook, or our ransomware response guide.

Why Is Detection Not Enough? Because Coordination Is the Gap.

You've invested millions in detection tools. But when an incident hits, the response still runs on email threads, Slack chaos, and someone's spreadsheet. That's the gap attackers exploit. As NIST SP 800-61 defines it, incident response is a six-phase discipline — and five of those phases are about what humans do after detection.

Tools Don't Coordinate People

Your SIEM fires. Your EDR quarantines. But who's calling legal? Who's notifying the board? Who owns the comms hold? Detection tools don't answer those questions.

Runbooks Fail Under Pressure

Static PDFs and wiki pages look great in audits. They collapse at 2 AM when three executives are asking different questions and nobody knows the current status.

No Record Means No Defense

If you can't prove what you did, when you did it, and who decided — regulators, insurers, and plaintiffs will write that story for you.

Built From the Room, Not the Whiteboard

Most incident response tools are built by developers who've never run an actual incident. IR-OS was built from 150+ real C-Suite tabletop exercises — every workflow, every prompt, every default reflects what actually happens when the call comes in.

Battle-Tested Workflows

Every task template, escalation path, and status flow was extracted from real exercises with real executives. Not theoretical — pressure-tested.

AI That Knows the Playbook

AI suggestions are grounded in your IR plan, regulatory requirements, and insurance obligations — not generic best practices from a training set.

Opinionated by Design

IR-OS doesn't ask you to configure everything. It ships with defaults that work because they came from the room, not a product committee.

The Three Things Nobody Else Solves

After 150+ executive tabletop exercises, the same three friction points come up every single time. They are the reason most IR programs stall before they ever get tested. IR-OS removes all three with AI coaching grounded in the largest incident response knowledge base anywhere.

No More Blank-Page Syndrome

The problem: Nobody wants to download a 60-page IR plan template and stare at it. It's the same paralysis a writer feels at a blank first page — and it kills more IR programs than any other single factor.

The IR-OS fix: Our AI Plan Coach conducts a 15-minute conversational interview — your industry, regulatory exposure, team size, technology stack, prior incidents — and generates a complete, customized incident response plan in real time. You answer questions in plain English. The plan writes itself, mapped to NIST 800-61, your relevant regulators, and your insurer's requirements.

What you get: A defensible, board-ready IR plan in under 30 minutes — not 6 weeks of consulting fees.

Who Should Be on Your IRC?

The problem: Nobody wants the responsibility of choosing the Incident Response Command (IRC) team. Or they're unsure who to choose. The Crisis Communications role goes to whoever happens to be in the room. The Legal Liaison gets named in a panic. Backups are an afterthought.

The IR-OS fix: Our IRC Team Recommender reads your org chart and suggests the right person for each of the six roles based on their function, seniority, and the patterns we've extracted from 150+ exercises. Crisis Comms goes to your PR/Communications lead. Legal Liaison goes to your General Counsel or designated privacy attorney. Every role gets a primary and two named backups — because incidents happen during vacations.

What you get: A fully-staffed IRC with backups, role-specific training tracks, and pre-authorized decisions — in minutes, not months of committee meetings.

The IR Brain

The problem: Incident response knowledge is scattered across NIST publications, ISO standards, regulator guidance, court filings, breach disclosures, MITRE ATT&CK, and the personal notebooks of every senior CISO who has ever lived through one. Nobody can hold it all in their head — and most platforms ignore it entirely.

The IR-OS fix: The IR Brain is a Postgres pgvector retrieval-augmented knowledge base that grounds every AI suggestion in cited, authoritative sources. Initial corpus includes NIST SP 800-61 Rev. 2, ISO/IEC 27035-1:2023, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATT&CK, SEC Final Rule 33-11216 (Item 1.05), GDPR Article 33, EDPB Guidelines 9/2022, OFAC ransomware advisory, CISA #StopRansomware Guide, and operational patterns from 150+ real C-Suite tabletop exercises. The corpus is expanding continuously. Every CISO Copilot suggestion retrieves from the brain and cites its sources by bracketed reference.

What you get: A citation-grounded incident response knowledge base wired into every AI agent in the platform — and Enterprise customers can ingest their own private corpus of tabletops, AARs, and incident records on top of the public sources.

Each of these three features answers "What is IR-OS?" in a specific way: it removes the friction that stops IR programs from ever getting started. Read the Incident Command Roles guide or our 2026 Incident Response Playbook to see how the same patterns show up in real incidents.

What Security Leaders Say

"During our last incident, we had four executives asking for status updates simultaneously while legal was demanding notification timelines. Before IR-OS, that meant someone on the team was doing nothing but fielding calls. Now the timeline is live, everyone sees the same view, and we actually coordinate instead of just communicate. The first real incident we ran through IR-OS cut our coordination overhead in half."

Sarah Chen
CISO, Financial Services

"Our biggest fear after an incident wasn't the breach itself — it was the audit. Could we prove what we did and when? IR-OS changed that entirely. The hash-chained timeline gave us an evidence package that our regulator accepted without a single follow-up question. The auto-generated AAR saved our team two weeks of documentation work that used to start the day after we closed an incident."

James Okonkwo
VP Risk & Compliance, Healthcare

"We'd run tabletop exercises for three years and thought we were ready. IR-OS showed us we weren't. The AI suggestions surfaced gaps in our plan we'd never caught — like the fact that our notification workflow completely missed our European data subjects under GDPR. The readiness dashboard made those blind spots impossible to ignore."

Priya Sharma
CTO, Mid-Market SaaS

"When we had a ransomware event, the first thing outside counsel asked for was the incident timeline. With IR-OS, we handed them a tamper-evident, hash-chained record within the hour. Our insurer's forensic team said it was the cleanest incident record they'd ever reviewed. That record directly influenced the outcome of our claim."

David Morales
General Counsel, Manufacturing

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about IR-OS and incident command.

What is IR-OS?
IR-OS is an incident command platform purpose-built for coordinating the human side of incident response. It handles task assignment, role-based views, AI-assisted decision support, defensible timelines, readiness tracking, and after-action reviews — everything that happens between your SIEM firing an alert and the incident being closed. It was built from 150+ real C-Suite tabletop exercises, so every workflow reflects what actually happens under pressure.
How is IR-OS different from PagerDuty, Jira, or ServiceNow?
PagerDuty routes alerts. Jira tracks tickets. ServiceNow manages workflows. None of them were built for incident coordination — the part where executives need status updates, legal needs notification timelines, comms needs hold/release decisions, and someone has to prove to regulators what happened and when. IR-OS was built specifically for that room, by someone who's run it 150+ times. It's not a retrofit — it's purpose-built.
What is a defensible incident record?
Every event in IR-OS is stored in an append-only timeline with SHA-256 hash chaining. Events cannot be edited or deleted after creation. Each event is cryptographically linked to the one before it, creating a tamper-evident chain of custody. This record stands up to regulatory scrutiny, insurer review, and legal discovery — because it's mathematically provable that no one altered it after the fact.
How does the AI assistance work?
When you declare an incident, IR-OS reads your IR plan, the incident type, severity, and regulatory context to generate task suggestions, notification recommendations, and decision prompts. Every AI suggestion cites the section of your plan or regulation it's based on. AI suggestions are advisory — a human approves or dismisses every one. The system learns from your exercises and incident patterns to improve over time.
Do I need an existing IR plan to use IR-OS?
No. IR-OS ships with a battle-tested IR plan template built from 150+ real tabletop exercises. You can use it as-is, customize it to your organization, or upload your own plan. The platform adapts its AI suggestions and task generation to whatever plan you have in place.
How long does setup take?
Most teams are operational in 15 minutes. Import your team roster, choose or upload your IR plan, set notification preferences, and you're ready to declare your first incident or run your first tabletop exercise. There's no weeks-long implementation or professional services engagement required.
What types of incidents does IR-OS handle?
Data breaches, ransomware, insider threats, system outages, third-party compromises, physical security events, and regulatory incidents. Each incident type has tailored workflows, task templates, notification sequences, and regulatory mappings. You can also create custom incident types with your own workflows.
How does the readiness dashboard work?
Four traffic-light indicators track your organizational readiness: exercise compliance (have you tested recently?), open remediation gaps (from exercises, assessments, and AARs), overdue assessments, and insurance expiry. Green means ready. Amber means attention needed. Red means act now. It gives leadership a single-glance view without digging through multiple reports.
Can I run tabletop exercises in IR-OS?
Yes. Log exercises with attendees, scenarios, findings, and action items. Every finding automatically creates a remediation item in the gap tracker. Over time, IR-OS builds a complete picture of your readiness posture by connecting exercises, assessments, real incidents, and after-action reviews into one continuous improvement loop.
What happens after an incident closes?
IR-OS auto-generates a structured after-action review (AAR): executive summary, timeline summary, what worked well, gaps identified with severity ratings, SLA compliance analysis, regulatory compliance status, and prioritized recommendations. Each identified gap can be pushed to the remediation tracker with one click, closing the loop from incident to improvement to verification.
Is my data secure?
IR-OS runs on Supabase with row-level security policies on every table, ensuring strict tenant isolation. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit. The append-only event store ensures no one — including administrators — can alter the incident record after creation. Your incident data never leaves your isolated tenant.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every plan — Public Sector, Commercial, and Enterprise — includes a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If IR-OS doesn't measurably improve your incident coordination and readiness workflow within 30 days, we'll refund your payment in full. No questions, no friction. Public Sector pricing requires verification of government, education, or first responder status at signup; first responders, fire, and law enforcement get an additional 50% off.

The Next Incident Won't Wait for You to Get Organized.

150+ tabletop exercises taught us what works under pressure. We built it into a platform so your team doesn't have to learn the hard way.
