Scream Into the Form

Active breach or future-proofing? A responder is awake right now — one of them definitely is; we hear typing.

Under attack right now? Skip the typing and call the panic line: +1 240 708 5412 or inquiries@privatesystemsinc.com.

First moves

What a responder will tell you on call one

These first moves protect evidence and stop the bleeding before anyone arrives.

01

Call the dam line before doing anything heroic — every legendary recovery began with "maybe we should call someone."

02

Yank the sick machines off the network — cable out, Wi-Fi off. Everything else is optional.

03

Do NOT power down, wipe, or "just reinstall" anything. Forensics hates a clean room.

04

Keep the logs, the alerts, and especially the ransom note screenshots. Yes, screenshot the note.

05

Ring your cyber insurer and your lawyers now — not after you've "figured out a bit more." Then step away from Slack; the cavalry has group-chat fatigue.

Where to find a Bros

Garrett County, MD (HQ)

A structurally optimistic beaver dam in flood-adjacent terrain of questionable zoning. Lobby smells of cedar and urgency.

Ottawa

Embassy-adjacent. Officially a Canadian problem since the moose incident. We do not discuss the moose.

Oslo

Fjord access. Local beavers consider our dam performance art; the reviews were mixed.

Partners

Carriers, counsel & MSPs

Carriers, counsel, and channel folks: open a matter or float a referral using the "Carrier & Esquire Intake" option in the form. We work alongside underwriters, breach defenders, and managed-service teams across response, evidence, and reporting — delivering paperwork your compliance department will call "adequate," which from compliance people is a standing ovation.
