Know what to do before ransomware, account takeover, or customer data exposure happens.
WCS helps small businesses define who to call, what to isolate, how to communicate, what evidence to preserve, and how to keep operating when a security incident demands action.
Built for owners, lean IT teams, and MSP-supported organizations that need a practical incident plan before pressure arrives.
Incident readiness reduces confusion when the first hour matters most.
The work focuses on clear roles, escalation paths, communication steps, backup validation, and exercises your team can actually run.

Define who to call, what to isolate, what to preserve, and how to coordinate with IT, MSPs, insurance, legal, and leadership.
