Our cyber incident response planning service will ensure that you’re prepared to effectively respond to a security incident with documented plans and procedures.
Unfortunately, when it comes to being impacted by a cyber incident it’s not a matter of if, but when.
Our team of IR professionals will help ensure you have a comprehensive incident response plan (IRP) with a well-defined process, pre-defined roles, escalation criteria and additional centralized information that allows you to effectively respond to incidents. We will help you:
Our security practitioners work closely with your team to collect and review current incident response documentation, including any existing IR plan, associated processes and documentation related to recent incidents. Additionally, we will conduct interviews with information security personnel, counsel, PR, third-party service providers and others. Through this process we will:
Based on observations made in the data collection and information review phase, we create the incident response plan to document recommended roles and responsibilities, incident criteria, escalation process and additional details according to industry best practices. This plan includes the perspectives and feedback from interviewed stakeholders.
Once your new incident response plan has been fully developed and approved, our team recommends an optional IR tabletop exercise that allows us to develop a simulated incident that ensures knowledge and adherence to your plan.
As part of this exercise, we develop a custom incident scenario for your organization and ensure that stakeholders fully understand their associated roles and responsibilities during the process.
More than 50% of our workforce consists of tenured cybersecurity engineers, architects and consultants. We are also highly certified across industry standards as well as hundreds of cybersecurity solutions.
