Prepare for Security
Incidents with Documented
Response Plans

Our cyber incident response planning service will ensure that you’re prepared to effectively respond to a security incident with documented plans and procedures.

INCIDENT RESPONSE PLANNING: OVERVIEW

Ensure Your IR Plans Work When Called Upon

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:

Review & Assess Your Existing IR Documentation

Interview Key Stakeholders to Gather Information & Perspectives on IR Planning, Roles & Responsibilities

Understand Existing Processes & Technologies in Place to Support a Security Incident Investigation

Create or Update Your IR Plan to Align with Industry Best Practices & Senior Leadership Expectations

INCIDENT RESPONSE PLANNING: METHODOLOGY

Establish the Right Baseline of Information

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:

  • Identify gaps in existing IR plans or processes
  • Understand current incident preparation level
  • Gather additional information that can be leveraged into the newly defined plan

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.

INCIDENT RESPONSE PLANNING: EXECUTION

Put Your IR Plan to the Test

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.
