Benchmark
Open-source incident response benchmark
A vendor-neutral comparison of open source incident response and SOAR tooling for teams that must detect, triage and report incidents inside the tight NIS2 timelines — without an enterprise platform.
What we compare
Open-source incident response tools, side by side
Intent over volume
This benchmark leans on intent, comparing open-source incident response and case-management platforms as comparison subjects, focused on the reporting evidence essential entities have to produce.Case management
How each platform tracks an incident from alert to closure, with the timeline evidence NIS2 wants.
Automation and SOAR
The open source SOAR playbook capabilities that let a small team respond at machine speed.
Integrations
How well free incident response tools connect to your SIEM, ticketing and threat intelligence.
Why incident response matters for NIS2
Reporting deadlines
NIS2 requires an early warning within 24 hours and a notification within 72 — you need a workflow that keeps up.
Repeatable process
A managed IR platform turns ad-hoc firefighting into a defensible, repeatable process.
