SOAR that turns detection into safe, reversible action.
WoneShield Respond is security orchestration, automation and response: incidents become governed playbooks — propose, approve, execute, roll back — with guardrails and a full audit trail, so you respond in minutes without fear.
Built for SOC & IR teams · safe automation with a full audit trail
Why SOAR
Detection is fast. Response is where teams lose.
Response happens at human speed
Threats move in minutes; manual, swivel-chair response between consoles takes hours — and the gap is where damage happens.
Automation you're scared to trust
Scripts that act without guardrails are one bad match away from locking out your own users. So teams don't automate the things that matter.
No record when it counts
When an auditor or an incident review asks who did what, when and why, ad-hoc response leaves you reconstructing from memory.
Speed with safety
Respond in minutes — and undo anything.
Safe by design
Automate the response — keep the brakes.
Respond shows the blast radius before it acts, enforces safelists and bulk limits, runs only high-confidence actions on its own, and makes every action reversible — so you finally automate the response that matters.
- ✓Blast-radius preview before execution
- ✓Safelists & bulk-safety guardrails
- ✓Every action reversible, every step logged
How Respond works
Propose. Approve. Execute. Roll back.
Governed response that's as fast as the threat — and always reversible.
- 1
Ingest the incident
Argus (XDR) and the rest of the platform hand Respond a ranked incident with full context.
- 2
Propose
Respond proposes the right playbook and the exact actions — with the blast radius and affected assets shown up front.
- 3
Approve (or auto-act)
High-confidence, low-risk actions run autonomously; sensitive ones become a one-click approval, within your guardrails.
- 4
Execute & roll back
Actions run across your tools, every step audit-logged — and any action is reversible if the picture changes.
Architecture
One orchestration layer across your whole stack.
Guardrails and rollback at every step; self-hostable for full data residency of response data.
Capabilities
Orchestration with a conscience.
How it compares
Scripts are brittle. Legacy SOAR is glue code. Respond is native.
| Manual / scripts | Legacy SOAR | WoneShield Respond | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Propose with blast-radius preview | — | Rare | ✓ |
| Reversible / rollback by design | — | Limited | ✓ |
| Bulk-safety guardrails | — | Partial | ✓ |
| Native to detection (no glue code) | — | — | ✓ |
| Immutable audit trail → GRC | Manual | Partial | ✓ |
| Self-host / data sovereignty | Varies | Rare | ✓ |
Integrations
Acts across the tools you already run.
Why Respond
SOAR your team will actually turn on.
Safe automation, finally
Guardrails, blast-radius limits and one-click approvals mean you can automate the actions that matter without fear.
Everything reversible
Every action is designed to be rolled back — so automating response stops being a gamble.
Audit-ready by default
Who did what, when and why is captured automatically and flows into Comply for incident reviews and audits.
Part of one platform
Detection (Argus), endpoint action (Aegis), posture (Posture) and evidence (Comply) are one loop — no integration tax.
See it in action
Watch a playbook contain an incident in two minutes.
An incident arrives from Argus; Respond proposes a playbook with its blast radius, the on-call approves, actions execute across endpoint and identity — then we roll one back, live.
- ✓Propose → approve → execute
- ✓Blast-radius preview
- ✓One-click rollback
By design
Fast response you can trust.
Return on investment
Every minute of response time has a price.
Automating response reclaims analyst hours and shrinks dwell time — the two costliest variables in any incident.
Better together
Respond is the hands of the platform.
Detection decides; Respond acts:
Use cases
What Respond automates.
“Respond took our mean time to respond from over four hours to under ten minutes. Reversible actions and blast-radius previews are why we finally automated containment.”
What SOC & IR teams say
Automation they actually trust.
“Respond cut our mean time to respond from hours to minutes — and I finally trust automation because every action is reversible.”
Marcus WebbSOC Lead · Fintech“The blast-radius preview is genius. We automate account disables now because we can see exactly who it touches first.”
Yuki SatoIncident Response Manager · SaaS“One-click approvals replaced our 2am Slack threads. The on-call just approves the proposed playbook and goes back to sleep.”
Aaron KleinHead of SecOps · Retail“Every action audit-logged meant our incident review took an hour, not a week. The evidence was just there.”
Fatima BelloGRC Manager · Banking“It orchestrates across our EDR, identity and ticketing in one playbook. No more swivel-chair between five consoles.”
Diego RamosSecurity Engineer · Healthcare“We rolled back a containment action in seconds when an incident turned out benign. Reversible response changed how we operate.”

Emma LarssonCISO · InsuranceThe basics
What is SOAR — and how is it safe to automate?
SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) turns incidents into playbooks that coordinate actions across your security tools, with automation and human approval applied where each makes sense.
Safe SOAR comes from guardrails: showing blast radius before acting, enforcing safelists and bulk limits, automating only high-confidence low-risk steps, and making every action reversible. That's how Respond is built.
- SOAR vs scripts
- Scripts are brittle and unguarded; SOAR adds approval, guardrails, audit and rollback.
- SOAR vs SIEM/XDR
- XDR (Argus) detects and decides; SOAR (Respond) orchestrates and acts on that decision.

FAQ
SOAR, answered.
What is SOAR?+
SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) turns security incidents into repeatable playbooks that orchestrate actions across your tools — blocking, isolating, disabling, ticketing — with automation and human approval where appropriate. Respond is WoneShield's SOAR.
Isn't automated response risky?+
Only without guardrails. Respond proposes actions with their blast radius shown, enforces safelists and bulk-safety limits, runs only high-confidence/low-risk actions autonomously, and makes every action reversible — so automation is safe, not scary.
Can every action be rolled back?+
Yes — Respond is reversible by design. If the picture changes, you can undo an action, and the rollback is itself audit-logged.
How does it help with audits and incident reviews?+
Every proposed and executed action is captured in an immutable audit trail — who, what, when and why — and flows into WoneShield Comply, so reviews and audits are evidence-backed, not reconstructed.
What can Respond orchestrate?+
Block at the edge (Aegis), isolate hosts, disable accounts, revoke sessions, open/close tickets (Jira/ServiceNow), notify (Slack/Teams) and run custom actions across your stack.
Can we self-host for data residency?+
Yes — Respond is sovereign by design, self-hostable with configurable data residency.
How much does WoneShield Respond (SOAR) cost?+
Respond is included in WoneShield platform bundles, and available standalone from $1,000/month (Core) and $3,000/month for Pro (full playbooks, guardrails and integrations), with custom Enterprise pricing.
How long does it take to stand up playbooks?+
Out-of-the-box playbooks for common incidents work on day one; custom playbooks are built in a visual editor in hours, not weeks.
