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.

Critical infrastructure protection

Incident reporting is central to this pillar.

Vulnerability management

Fewer exposures means fewer incidents to respond to.
