Does your Company have a Cyber Response Plan?

The majority of organizations plan for fires, floods, and other incidents that impact business resilience; and careful planning for cyber security incidents shouldn’t be any different.

If your business got hacked tomorrow and you were locked out of your company data, what would you do?

If you are one of the lucky businesses that have not had a data breach yet, then you need to prepare a plan.

The sad fact is that's not a matter of if, but when, this will happen.

All companies of all types and sizes should have some form of response plan or playbook. Investing in a response plan and employee training is a worthwhile investment, which helps to improve your organization’s Cyber Security Maturity.

This is a document that can be easily followed in the case of a data breach. As soon as an incident occurs, the incident response plan needs to be put into play. The goal is to handle the incident in a way that limits both damage and impact, both financially and to the reputation of the organization.

It includes your line of business applications, for example, your accounts package - if that gets hacked, what steps are necessary to recover and secure the system?

A cyber response playbook is a go-to document that will help navigate steps by step all of the critical processes of securing and responding to a data breach.

As the remediation element of the incident response reaches its final stages, damage control needs to begin. There will undoubtedly be consequences as a result of what’s happened, whether the impact is financial or reputational, this needs to be planned for and addressed in the right way for each business.
