2. General Coverage of IR-1
During the IR-1 Term:
(a) Blackpanda shall provide you with “Cyber Security Incident Response Services” in the event you suffer a Qualifying Cyber Security Incident and decide to use your Activation Credit.
• A “Qualifying Cyber Security Incident” is a Cyber Security Incident that must meet all of the following criteria:
— This Cyber Security Incident has resulted in the unauthorized access of at least one of your Endpoints. An Endpoint is any physical or virtual computing device or computing environment that communicates with a network to which it is connected.
— This Cyber Security Incident commences during, is discovered by you during, and is informed to Blackpanda during your IR-1 Term.
— This Cyber Security Incident does not arise as a result of, or under substantially similar circumstances to, a previous Cyber Security Incident or Qualifying Cyber Security Incident that Blackpanda has responded to whether arising under IR-1 or as part of any of our other services that we offer. In other words, this Qualifying Cyber Security Incident should not be a Cyber Security Incident which we have previously advised you on or have handled for you unless we agree to do so.
— The Cyber Security Incident is not a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDOS).
• Your “Activation Credit” is a single-use credit for you to provide to use in the event you require Blackpanda to respond to a Qualifying Cyber Security Incident. It cannot be used for a Cyber Security Incident which does not meet the qualifying criteria above. The Activation Credit is deemed used when you submit a valid notification to us.
• This is because when we receive your 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 is legitimate or is a false positive, your IR-1 credit will be considered redeemed.
(b) Blackpanda shall also provide you with preferential rates for any of our cyber security technical and consultancy services. These services can be used as prehabilitation or preventative measures. These services can also be used if you have utilized all Activation Credit(s) or for a Cyber Security Incident which is not a Qualifying Cyber Security Incident. Please complete the form here if you wish to engage us for such services.

3A. Our Cyber Security Incident Response Services
If during the IR-1 Term you submit a valid notification to Blackpanda that you have experienced a Qualifying Cyber Security Incident, we shall provide to you with the following Cyber Security Incident Response Services to identify, contain and report on the damage and loss you may have suffered following the Cyber Security Incident.
These services are SUBJECT ALWAYS to our (a) reasonable availability at the time of your report; and (b) our professional opinion and expertise on a proportionate response of the Cyber Security Incident.
(a) Cyber Security Incident Triage Services:
A Blackpanda cyber incident response specialist shall triage the Qualifying Cyber Security Incident, providing a preliminary classification of the incident based on industry standards. Our current practice (which may change from time to time) is to utilize the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as updated from time to time. We will provide you with a general plan of action and recommendations for handling the Qualifying Cyber Security Incident based on our professional assessment and triage.
(b) Cyber Security Containment Services:
In certain occasions, the Cyber Security Incident may still be active. This means that there is continued unauthorized access of at least one of your Endpoints. Our ability to identify and assist with such Active incidents will depend on your cooperation and our ability to access your information systems and networks in a timely manner.We will use our reasonable efforts to respond and contain an Active Cyber Security Incident. Due to the nature of Active Cyber Security Incidents, we are unable to warrant that we are able to respond to or contain the Active Cyber Security Incident completely or even at all. This is because not all Active Cyber Security Incidents are the same.
(c) Basic Remediation Advisory Services:
We will also provide you with recommendations and basic advice which you can take on board to improve the vulnerability which gave rise to the Cyber Security Incident. However, depending on the vulnerability which caused the Cyber Security Incident – not all proposed steps are remediable without additional cost and expense (whether for further professional services and analysis or as a result of additional requirements you may not have). Where possible, we will highlight these costs and expenses and use our reasonable efforts to advise you. We will not incur any costs and expenses without your express consent to do so. It is important for you to consider and understand Section 4(a) below.

4. What is Not Covered Under Your IR-1
It is important for you to note that in the event you utilize your Activation Credit under the IR-1, Blackpanda DOES NOT provide:
(a) Eradication Services: After an incident has been contained, eradication is a step that is sometimes necessary to eliminate components of the incident, such as deleting malware and disabling breached user accounts, as well as identifying and mitigating all vulnerabilities that were exploited. This may involve identifying all affected Endpoints (which involves analyzing Endpoints that were not involved in the original triage). For some incidents, eradication is either not necessary or is not performed.
(b) Remediation Services: Remediation occurs when we identify vulnerabilities within your system or data and provide a corrective action plan and take steps to resolve the vulnerability. This would also include a schedule for resolving the vulnerability and allows for appropriate testing. Under the IR-1, we only offer basic advice. We do not offer action plans nor take any steps or implement any changes on your behalf on your systems and Endpoints.
(c) Recovery Services: Cyber Security recovery addresses the steps your business will take to reconstitute or recover assets which may have been damaged, compromised or lost after a Cyber Security Incident.
(d) Restoration of Business Operation Services: Restoration refers to our development of plans for your implementation for the restoration in a timely manner of any capabilities or services that are impaired due to a Cyber Security Incident. This is sometimes referred to as “recovery” by other industry experts, such as the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
The reason we do not provide the above is because IR-1 is packaged and developed as an entry-level cyber security solution for small-to-medium businesses and enterprises. We believe all businesses should have the benefit of cyber security experts. Our IR-1 Cyber Security Incident Response Services are to provide a baseline solution for your business. We may advise that further investigation and services are required for the Cyber Security Incident which are not provided under the IR-1. In such scenarios, you are entitled to our preferential rates (see Section 2(b) above) for these services.
Blackpanda specifically DOES NOT warrant that the IR-1 is sufficient for any legal, regulatory and/or compliance obligations applicable to you under the relevant laws that arise in the event of a Cyber Security Incident. Among other reasons, this is because there are many types of Cyber Security Incidents, and all our clients’ businesses differ. We advise all our clients in the event of a Cyber Security Incident to obtain legal advice as to its legal and/or compliance obligations under the applicable laws.
