As digital threats continue to grow in complexity and frequency, many organizations are struggling to build and maintain effective incident response programs, leaving them vulnerable to cyber attacks and regulatory risk. GuidePoint’s IRMA offering addresses these challenges head-on by providing a comprehensive, tailored assessment that benchmarks current incident response capabilities against industry standards, provides actionable recommendations for improvement and sets an actionable roadmap for future development.
“Too often, organizations don’t realize their response processes are fragmented, outdated, or insufficient until they’re in the middle of a serious incident,” said Mark Lance, Vice President, DFIR and Threat Intelligence at GuidePoint Security. “IRMA gives security teams a clear view of their posture, along with practical steps to build a more mature, effective and resilient response program over time.”
GuidePoint Security’s new IRMA offering includes:
- Risk Evaluation: Assess your organization’s inherent risk and align it with your unique incident response capabilities.
- Control Domain Assessment: Evaluate incident response across six critical lifecycle phases—preparation, detection, containment, eradication, recovery and post-incident activity.
- Maturity Evaluation: Analyze your current maturity level and define a clear, measurable path to a stronger future state.
- Custom Reporting: Receive a detailed report highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and actionable recommendations—prioritized to address the most pressing risks and capability gaps.
- Debrief and Recommendations: Participate in a post-assessment debrief to review findings and define next steps.

Unlike generic security assessments, IRMA is specifically designed for incident response and uses a custom control framework built around industry standard sources like NIST and SANS. The offering also evaluates both the strategic and operational aspects of response programs for a holistic evaluation—ensuring a thorough, accurate assessment that touches on policies, tools, team readiness and real-world application.
“With IRMA, we’re empowering organizations to respond to incidents faster, smarter and with greater confidence,” Lance added. “It’s about building a more complete and resilient response program that ensures you keep pace with evolving threats and aligns with business risk.”
