IR-1 FAQs
If you cannot find the answer to your question, contact our Sales team and they’ll be happy to talk to you.
IR-1 is for small and medium sized enterprises in the Asia Pacific region with fewer than 500 endpoints, and with limited IT and security resources. IR-1 has been designed to help these organisations recover from a cyber attack (hacking) incident.
IR-1 is an annual subscription. You get:
- Expert incident response in case of a hack: You receive an IR-1 credit which you activate in case of a suspected attack.
- Continuous ASM security scans: We identify vulnerabilities in your systems and alert you to critical gaps in your defence.
- Incident response preparation resources: Practical guides on setting up cyber security tools and processes, and other actionable information for you and your team.
Blackpanda ASM stands for “Blackpanda Attack Surface Management”, an advanced method for scanning digital infrastructure and identifying security vulnerabilities. Blackpanda ASM is a core component of your IR-1 subscription, giving you visibility into your systems and actionable insight that allows you to address gaps in your defences before hackers exploit these. You can find out more about this technology here.
Our tech team has been busy working on improvements and new features to make IR-1 even more powerful.
Before:
- Weekly attack surface scans (ASM scans) with our Blackpanda ASM scanning tool

Log on to ir1.blackpanda.com to report a cyber incident and activate the IR-1 incident response service. An incident responder will be in touch to walk you through the best course of immediate action. In most cases, this initial contact happens within an hour of the incident being reported.
The IR-1 credit entitles you to incident response in case of a cyber emergency. It grants you access to our incident response specialists, digital forensics and security professionals (applicable to qualified cyber incidents only). Your IR-1 credit includes root cause and scope of breach investigation, incident remediation and a final report on findings and recommendations. The credit does not include restoration of business activities and implementation of extended remediating actions.
A cyber incident is defined as such if it includes Basic Web Application Attacks, System Intrusion, Business Email Compromise, Malware or Ransomware. In addition, a qualified cyber incident must satisfy the following two criteria:
- The compromise date must be later than the registration/renewal of the IR-1 subscription.
- The root cause/cause of the incident must be different from any previous incident for which IR-1 has been activated, unless Blackpanda-approved mitigation measures have been implemented.
When we receive your Incident Response activation request, our multidisciplinary regional responders are activated and will start to investigate the suspected incident immediately. As such, regardless of whether the investigation reveals the incident to qualify for our services or not, your IR-1 credit will be redeemed. You may, however, wish to continue with our digital forensics and incident response services at a preferred rate (up to 20% in savings), and continue to use our cyber security e-resources.
In addition to unlimited access to cyber risk e-resources, you can still access all Blackpanda services at a preferred rate (up to 20% in savings), including incident response and digital forensic services.
At Blackpanda, we offer additional services to help you strengthen your defences and preparedness (this is also often referred to as “strengthening your security posture”). For instance, you may wish to consider incorporating regular in-depth compromise assessments to eradicate vulnerabilities in your systems and conducting tabletop exercises to review the readiness of your team. Blackpanda’s experts can help with all of these, so contact our team today to find out more.
