Most small and mid-sized organizations have an IR plan that lives in a PDF nobody has opened since the auditor asked for it. Klaxon turns that document into software you actually run — playbooks, a live war-room, tabletop practice, and the legal breach-notification deadlines and letters built in.
A written incident-response plan satisfies an auditor for a day. It does nothing at 2 a.m. when ransomware hits and nobody can find it. Incident response plan software closes that gap: the plan becomes executable steps with owners, a timeline that's legally defensible, and — uniquely in Klaxon — a clock on every reporting deadline the law imposes. You stop improvising the most consequential hours of your company's year.
Ransomware, BEC, data breach, lost device, account takeover, insider threat, DDoS, and vendor breach — each ordered into the six-phase NIST lifecycle with a built-in "does this trigger a notification obligation?" check. Browse the playbooks →
An append-only, timestamped incident timeline, role assignment, tasks, and SHA-256 evidence chain-of-custody. Local-first, so an active incident never has to leave the building.
Timed scenario injects, scoring against a rubric, and an auto-generated after-action report — practice your plan as software, not a $15k consulting engagement.
All 50 states + HIPAA, GDPR, DFARS, and Canada: who you must notify, by when, with a live deadline clock and a letter generator. Open the engine →
Klaxon is for the clinic and its business associates (HIPAA), the defense subcontractor proving a 72-hour DFARS reporting capability (CMMC IR domain), the school under FERPA and state law, and any company holding PII across many US states plus Canada and the EU. MSPs and vCISOs get a multi-client console and white-label after-action reports. Compliance owners get the Respond/Recover half of the lifecycle their framework demands — NIST CSF RS/RC, ISO 27001 A.5.24–A.5.28, SOC 2 CC7.3–CC7.5, CMMC IR, HIPAA §164.308(a)(6).
Tools like incident.io and PagerDuty are excellent Slack war-rooms and on-call systems — but they know nothing about notification law. Enterprise privacy platforms know the law but cost five to six figures. Klaxon does both, in the SMB band.
