Playbooks for an
Improved Response
to Threats

Our cybersecurity Incident Response (IR) Playbook and Runbook development services are designed to help ensure that you can execute on the right strategy for effectively responding to specific incidents that could impact your organization.

INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAYBOOKS & RUNBOOKS: OVERVIEW

Ensure an Effective Response to Security Incidents

Incident response playbooks and runbooks are indispensable as an established workflow and process documentation for specific types of incidents.

Our IR playbook and runbook services ensure that you’re following a predefined process and keeping appropriate resources informed and engaged during a response effort. As part of these services, we will:

Review & Assess Your Existing IR Documentation

Interview Key Stakeholders to Gather Information About Your IR Processes & Threat Landscape

Propose IR Playbooks or Runbooks for Specific Threat Activity Based on Real-World Incidents

Develop Associated Playbooks & Runbooks for Integration into Your Existing IR Documentation

INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAYBOOKS & RUNBOOKS: 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, business workflows, architecture information, technology solutions, instructions and documentation related to recent incidents. Additionally, we conduct Q&A sessions with key personnel to gather additional feedback, data and information that might not be included in the current documentation. 

These steps allow us to propose playbook and/or runbook topics that are directly applicable to your organization. We develop the workflows to include all necessary groups, processes, solutions and third parties that will be defined in the process.

INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAYBOOKS & RUNBOOKS: WORKFLOW DEVELOPMENT & INTEGRATION

Tailored IR Playbooks Developed & Integrated with Existing Plans

Based on the observations made during the documentation review and results of interviews, we'll develop the incident response playbooks or runbooks to capture workflows or processes specific to the threat defined in collaboration with your organization. 

Workflow and process documentation incorporate industry best practices, appropriate roles, notification requirements, applicable solutions and a well-defined structure for responding to the incident. Once finalized after review with your stakeholders, the newly developed documentation can be added to existing incident response plans.
