What does the EDR for IR Third Edition include?
The product delivers a 60+ file digital playbook emailed within 24 business hours, comprising PDFs and XLSX spreadsheets: a master operations playbook, adoption roadmap, implementation template, anti-pattern catalogue, outcomes dashboard, incident-response runbook, self-assessment matrix, deployment checklists, policy documents, benchmarking dashboards and reference quick-cards. All files are ready-to-use and editable for immediate implementation.
Are you still relying on fragmented, out-of-date knowledge to protect your endpoints? Every missed alert, delayed triage, or incomplete containment step puts your organisation at risk of audit failure, regulatory fines, and repeat breaches. The EDR for IR Third Edition eliminates that risk by giving you a ready-to-use, battle-tested methodology that turns chaotic endpoint detection and response (EDR) processes into a fully governed, audit-ready capability the moment you download the playbook.
What You Receive
- 00_Platinum_Tier centrepiece files (PDF/XLSX) - a master operations playbook (PDF), a 90-day adoption roadmap (XLSX), an implementation template (PDF), an anti-pattern catalogue (XLSX), an outcomes dashboard (XLSX), and an incident-response runbook (PDF) that together provide a step-by-step launch plan.
- 01_Getting_Started guide (PDF) - a start-here briefing that orients your team in under an hour.
- 02_Self-Assessment and Diagnostics (XLSX) - a 286-question matrix covering seven maturity domains (Strategy & Governance, Threat Detection, Alert Triage, Investigation & Analysis, Containment & Eradication, Recovery & Validation, Post-Incident Review) with weighted scoring to surface high-impact gaps instantly.
- 03_Requirements and Goal Setting (XLSX/PDF) - goal-setting templates, stakeholder-mapping worksheets and criticality matrices to align EDR objectives with business risk.
- 04_Models and Frameworks (PDF/XLSX) - comparison matrices that map NIST 800-92, MITRE ATT&CK and ISO 27001 controls to your EDR processes.
- 06_Processes and Execution (13-17 files, PDF/XLSX) - editable deployment checklists, escalation workflows, IR runbooks, communication plans and interview scripts that let you operationalise EDR in days, not weeks.
- 07_Performance and KPIs (XLSX) - ready-made dashboards with automated scoring logic to benchmark your maturity against industry standards.
- 08_Quality and Governance (PDF/XLSX) - audit-prep checklists, policy templates and oversight tools that keep you compliant with SOC 2, ISO 27001 and related regulations.
- 09_Sustainment and Improvement (PDF) - continuous-improvement frameworks and a case-archive library to future-proof your EDR capability.
- 10_Advanced Topics (PDF) - scenario libraries and advanced response playbooks for sophisticated threat-actors.
- 11_Reference and Quick Cards (PDF) - at-a-glance cheat sheets for rapid decision-making during incidents.
- README.md and CUSTOMER_EMAIL.txt - onboarding notes that guide you through installation and first-use within 24 business hours of purchase.
How This Helps You
- Rapidly identify and close detection gaps → reduces mean-time-to-detect (MTTD) by up to 40 % → avoids costly breach escalations.
- Standardised escalation and runbook templates → ensure consistent response across analysts → mitigates audit findings and regulatory penalties.
- Weighted scoring matrix → prioritises remediation spend on high-impact weaknesses → protects budget and reduces unnecessary effort.
- Automated benchmarking dashboards → give leadership clear visibility of maturity progress → supports board-level risk reporting and competitive advantage.
- Comprehensive policy and procedure pack → aligns your SOC with ISO 27001, NIST and SOC 2 → prevents non-compliance fines and reputational damage.
