What We Offer

The incidents we handle most, and what cleaning them up properly involves

Microsoft 365 / Office 365 Compromise

Attackers who get into a mailbox rarely stop at reading it. We look for the inbox rules that hide replies, external forwarding, OAuth apps granted mail access, new MFA methods registered by the attacker, mailbox delegations and Entra ID app registrations, then remove every one and revoke sessions and refresh tokens across the tenant.

Google Workspace Compromise

The same discipline in Google: Gmail filters and forwarding addresses, third-party apps with Drive or Gmail scopes, Drive files shared to outside accounts, recovery email and phone changes, and admin role changes. Sessions are reset, app access is cut, and the admin audit log is preserved before anything rolls off.

Business Email Compromise and Wire Fraud

When an invoice or payroll change went out from a compromised account, hours matter. We help you contact the bank to attempt a recall, scope which messages the attacker read and sent, identify the customers and vendors who were contacted, and preserve what the FBI IC3 report and your insurer will ask for.

Ransomware Containment and Recovery

Isolate affected machines without destroying evidence, find the account or remote tool the attacker came in through, check backups for tampering before restoring from them, and rebuild from known-good images. Recovery order follows your business priorities, not alphabetical server names.

Forensic Scoping and Evidence

Unified audit log, sign-in logs, Google admin and Drive audit logs, endpoint telemetry and firewall logs are exported and preserved early, because several of them age out. The goal is a defensible answer to the question every breach-notification decision depends on: what data was accessed, and whose.

Hardening So It Does Not Happen Twice

Phishing-resistant MFA for admins, conditional access, blocking legacy authentication, restricting user consent to apps, alerting on new forwarding rules and impossible-travel sign-ins. The same attacker often tries again within weeks; the fixes go in before we close the case.

Why Choose LayerLogix?

Responding to businesses nationwide, remotely, from offices in Texas, Georgia and Colorado.

Cloud Tenants Are Our Daily Work

We administer Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for clients every day, so we know where attackers hide persistence in them and which logs to pull first.

Works With Your Insurer and Counsel

If you have cyber insurance, call your carrier’s hotline first. We work alongside the breach coach and forensic firm they assign, or handle containment and cleanup directly when no carrier is involved.

100% U.S.-Based Support

Response is run by U.S.-based engineers from offices in Texas, Georgia and Colorado, working your tenant remotely so location does not slow anything down.

20+ Years Experience

Two decades of running and securing business IT, which is what makes the cleanup thorough rather than a password reset and a hopeful wait.

A Written Record

You get a timeline, the indicators we found, what was removed, what data was exposed as far as the logs show, and the changes made, written for owners, insurers and auditors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Someone got into an Office 365 mailbox. Is resetting the password enough?▼
No. A password reset does not remove inbox rules, forwarding, OAuth app grants, a second MFA method the attacker registered, or existing session tokens, and any of those lets them keep reading mail. The account also has to be checked for messages the attacker sent, and the tenant for other accounts they reached. That full sweep is what incident response on Microsoft 365 means.
Do you handle Google Workspace incidents, or only Microsoft?▼
Both. Google Workspace compromises follow the same pattern with different mechanics: Gmail filters and forwarding, third-party app grants, Drive sharing and admin changes. We investigate in the Google admin console and audit logs, contain, clean up and harden the same way.
Can you help if we are not already a LayerLogix client?▼
Yes. Most incident calls come from businesses we have never worked with. We will need an admin account or delegated access to your tenant and a decision-maker on the phone. Where an outside IT provider manages your systems, we work with them.
What should we do before you get involved?▼
Do not delete the compromised account or wipe affected machines, because that destroys evidence. Disconnect clearly infected computers from the network but leave them powered on if you can. If money was sent, call your bank immediately to request a recall. If you carry cyber insurance, call the carrier’s claims hotline, since many policies require using their panel.
Do we have to notify customers or regulators?▼
It depends on what data was accessed and where the affected people live. Every state has its own breach notification law with its own triggers and deadlines, and some industries add their own rules, such as HIPAA. We provide the technical scoping your attorney needs to make that call; the legal decision should come from counsel.
Is your incident response available around the clock?▼
After-hours emergency response is available for active incidents such as ransomware, an ongoing account takeover or a wire fraud in progress. Our automated monitoring runs 24/7 for managed clients; non-emergency follow-up work runs during business hours.
Do you provide Cybersecurity Incident Response in Nationwide and nearby areas?▼
Yes. LayerLogix is based in the Greater Houston area and delivers cybersecurity incident response to businesses across Nationwide and the surrounding communities, including The Woodlands, Spring, Katy, Sugar Land, Conroe, Cypress, and Pearland. For most Nationwide-area clients we can be on-site the same day when something needs hands-on attention, and our help desk is available during business hours, with after-hours emergency support. Call 713-571-2390 to check coverage for your specific address.
What does Cybersecurity Incident Response cost for a Nationwide business?▼
Pricing depends on your size and what you need, so we do not publish a one-size-fits-all number — but Nationwide businesses generally pay a flat, predictable monthly fee rather than surprise hourly bills. We start with a free, no-obligation assessment of your current setup, then give you a clear quote in plain English with no hidden costs. That way you know exactly what you are getting and what it costs before you commit.
