Valmius

Incident response, practiced

Write the plan.
Run the drill.
Keep the proof.

Valmius is for companies with 10 to 200 employees and nobody whose full-time job is security. It writes your incident response plan, runs the tabletop exercise with your team, and produces the dated after-action report that auditors, insurers and regulators ask for.

The free generator is live today. The full product is in development.

The Valmius plan editor: an incident response plan with numbered sections and framework references

Why now

What the people who check your work ask for

Four requirements that come up for almost every company our size. Each one wants a written plan and a dated record that it was tested.

PCI DSS 12.10.2
Review and test the incident response plan at least once every 12 months.
SOC 2 CC7.4
Respond to identified security incidents through a defined program. Auditors expect at least annual tabletop evidence.
Cyber insurance questionnaires
Do you have an incident response plan, and when did you last test it?
NYDFS 500.16
Maintain a written incident response plan and test it at least annually.

How it works

Three steps, one record

  1. Plan

    A written plan from fifteen questions

    Answer fifteen questions about your systems, people and obligations. Valmius writes an eleven-section incident response plan with roles, severity levels and a notification matrix built from your actual deadlines. Edit any section, approve it by name, export PDF or Word.

  2. Drill

    A tabletop exercise your team can run in an hour

    Pick a scenario or generate one from your own plan. The facilitator console shows one inject at a time with discussion questions; every decision is logged with a server timestamp. Participants follow along on their phones and sign off at the end.

  3. Prove

    A dated report an auditor accepts

    Attendance, the decision timeline, strengths, gaps, action items with owners, and the controls the exercise evidences, in a PDF with a recorded SHA-256. The evidence vault shows every exercise and when the next test is due.

Your cloud provider inherits the data center. Your compliance platform automates the configuration evidence. Your team still has to practice the response. We cover that last part.

Scope, exactly

What we cover, and nothing broader

Valmius produces the evidence auditors ask for under these controls. It does not make a company compliant; no single tool does.
