Cyber Incident Communications
When systems are down and trust is on the line, what you say and when you say it matters as much as the fix.
A cyber incident is a technical problem, a legal problem and a trust problem all at once. Arize manages the trust problem. We provide expert communications counsel and delivery for businesses facing ransomware, data breaches and system outages, from the first holding statement to the final piece of recovery communications.
Part of the response team, not an add-on
Cyber response runs as a team: insurers, lawyers, forensics specialists and your own crisis management team, each managing their critical path. We manage the communications critical path alongside them, advising at each decision point, developing notifications and statements under legal oversight, and sequencing rollout plans so customers, staff, former staff, partners and the media hear the right thing at the right time, in the right order.
Tested where it counts
We’ve run communications through live ransomware events, data breaches and system outages for national businesses: notification programs reaching customers, staff and former staff, holding statements drafted at speed under legal oversight, and recovery narratives that held. We never forget that an incident lands hardest on the people caught in it, the customers and staff wondering what it means for them, so we communicate with compassion as well as precision. How you treat people in a bad week is what your reputation becomes. You won’t find those case studies on this website, because discretion is the first promise we make every cyber client, and we keep it. Ask us instead how we’d run yours.
Common questions
-
Now, even if the first decision is to say nothing yet. Early counsel means your holding positions are ready before you need them.
-
Yes, that’s how cyber response works best. We slot into the established response structure, take the communications workstream, and make sure every statement is accurate, legally reviewed and released in the right order.
-
Often your cyber insurer. Communications support is commonly covered under cyber insurance policies as part of incident response, so check your policy and talk to your broker or insurer early. Either way, we’ll scope the work clearly before we start, even when we’re starting the same day.
