Nonprofits and small businesses get hit by cyberattacks as often as anyone else, but they can't afford what enterprise security vendors charge for incident response planning. A single tabletop exercise from a consulting firm runs $5,000 to $35,000. Most organizations skip planning entirely and hope for the best.
IRPForge exists to close that gap. The goal wasn't to chase the AI hype. It was to actually use AI where it's useful, to build something solid enough that a small organization could trust it with something this important.
You fill out a guided intake form about your organization. No security background needed. IRPForge uses that, along with CIS Controls v8 and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework as the underlying structure, to generate a branded, audit-ready incident response plan you can download immediately. IRPForge isn't certified or endorsed by NIST or CIS. It's built on their public standards.
You get three documents: the full Master Incident Response Plan, an Incident Report Form for documenting what happened during a real incident, and an Emergency Contact One-Pager so your team isn't hunting for phone numbers mid-crisis.
Starter plans are $199, one time. No subscription required for your first plan.
One thing IRPForge doesn't do: guarantee anything or provide legal advice. It's a planning document. Your team still has to run it when something happens.

IRPForge's answer
Small businesses and nonprofits mostly, plus any small organization running on a thin IT budget. A five-person nonprofit, a local business, a small online shop. None of them have a security team, but all of them are just as exposed as a company that does.
IRPForge's answer
Most of the tools people compare IRPForge to, Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, are subscription platforms built for ongoing compliance work. IRPForge isn't trying to be that. It does one thing: gets you an actual incident response plan, done in a single sitting, for $199 paid once. If what you need is the plan itself rather than a compliance dashboard, that's the difference.
IRPForge's answer
IRPForge takes a guided intake form and turns it into a real incident response plan, the kind you'd normally pay a consultant $5,000 to $35,000 to build. You don't need a security background to fill it out. What comes out the other end is three documents: the full plan, an incident report form for tracking what happens during a real incident, and a one-page emergency contact sheet.
IRPForge's answer
IRPForge exists to close a real gap. Nonprofits and small businesses face the same cyber risk as everyone else. They've never had an affordable way to get a real incident response plan in place. The goal wasn't to chase the AI hype. It was to actually use AI where it's useful, to build something solid enough that a small organization could trust it with something this important.
