WHAT IS THE CYBER RESILIENCE RETAINER
A key component of an enterprise risk management program.
Proactive advisory, elite incident response, and end-to-end privacy expertise — unified under one flexible, prepaid agreement.
The Cyber Resilience Retainer gives organizations on-demand access to a multidisciplinary bench spanning three core pillars: Cyber Advisory, Incident Response & DFIR, and Privacy. One retainer. The complete bench — before, during, and after any event.

Beyond DFIR.
While most competitors limit retainers to forensic response, FTI brings proactive security services, privacy counsel, cloud advisory, and strategic guidance — eliminating the gaps between prevention, response, and recovery.
