Prepare the response

Incident Response Plan

The need
Knowing how to respond to a cyber incident
What you gain
A plan that specifies who decides, who to contact and what to do, without building your response in the middle of a crisis

An incident involves leadership, IT, suppliers and sometimes external advisors. We prepare the roles, contacts and quick-reference sheets so your organization has a response framework that fits its reality.

When this service helps

Your organization has no usable response plan.

The roles of leadership, the IT provider and advisors remain unclear.

You want to prepare the first decisions before an incident.
