Incident Response Plans

Ensure a swift, effective response to cyber incidents with a structured, tailored Cyber Incident Response Plan (CIRP) designed specifically for your Incident Response (IR) team. Our CIRP development process follows cybersecurity frameworks, like NIST SP 800-61, to cover every critical phase, ensuring your organization is fully prepared to handle any cyber threat.

Comprehensive Cyber Incident Response Plan Development
  • Incident Response Plan Documentation
    We document a tailored Incident Response Plan (IRP) for your organization, covering key phases: Preparation, Detection and Analysis, Containment, Eradication and Recovery, and Post-Incident Review, to address the full lifecycle of incident response.
  • Roles and Responsibilities
    Our CIRP outlines clear roles and responsibilities for your Cybersecurity Incident Response Teams (CSIRT) and extended team members, ensuring swift and coordinated action.
  • Incident Severity Criteria
    Define criteria to assess incident impact and urgency, helping prioritize responses and resource allocation.
  • Communication Protocols
    Establish communication timelines, cadence, and escalation steps to keep all stakeholders informed and coordinated during incidents.
  • Executive Reporting Templates
    Tailored reporting templates ensure senior leadership has clear, concise awareness of incidents, actions, and next steps.

Training Materials
We develop training resources for technical, legal, and business participants, ensuring a cohesive, prepared incident response team.

Incident Response Playbooks

  1. Equip your team with step-by-step playbooks to handle specific cybersecurity incidents with precision. These playbooks ensure consistency and efficiency in responses, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement.

    • Playbook for Third/Fourth Party Notification
      Ensure effective assessment of potential impacts from supplier-related incidents with structured notification and response steps.
    • Phased Response Steps and Checklists
      Playbooks include detailed steps and checklists for each phase of the incident response, maintaining consistency and thoroughness.
    • Incident Response Communication Playbook
      Establishes standardized processes for clear, repeatable communication during incidents.
    • Post-Incident Review Playbook
      A structured approach to capture lessons learned and identify updates for continuous improvement in incident response.
Tabletop Exercises

  1. Prepare your team through discussion-based tabletop exercises that simulate a cyber incident response, reinforcing their knowledge and testing response capabilities.

    • Quick Reference Guide
      Provides high-level guidance with key questions and actions for immediate response during critical incidents.
    • Scenario Coordination and Objectives
      We design realistic scenarios to challenge your team’s skills and reinforce understanding of incident response tasks.
    • Tabletop Facilitation
      Our experts lead discussions to guide participants through incident response steps, encouraging team collaboration and prompt action.
    • Findings Documentation
      We document all actions, decisions, and any gaps identified during the exercise for future reference and improvement.
    • Post-Exercise Debrief
      Reflect on exercise outcomes, highlight areas for improvement, and document updates required for the CIRP.
