Ad hoc Response

This is the dangerous "Any response is better then no response" management. It is, however sometimes required when there is absolutely no budget for incident response teams, or you just cant get management to see the value in having response abiltiy (pun intended). This team is made up of various IT support staff on hand. Usually this kind of support ends up supplemented by a call to a Commercial Incident Response team when things go really bad.

The disadvantages in comparison to any of the other incident responses are many. The biggest are no resources and no managerial support.

The only advantage is again "Better then nothing". At least the Ad hoc team can put together a list of resources, including Commercial response like Legacy Technical Group, Inc. when things do go bad.
