Cyber security incident response plan
Improve the reactivity of your employees, customers, and suppliers
Creating and implementing a cyber security incident response plan (CSIRP) will protect your organisation against the devastating impacts of cyber attacks.
A cyber security incident response plan is a vital element of your cyber security strategy, including steps for preparation, detection, containment, recovery, analysis, and communication. It’s a proactive approach designed to minimise damage, mitigate risks, and restore normal operations after a security incident.
Our Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Specialists will support you to create a robust cyber security incident response plan, identifying any existing gaps within your incident handling capabilities and providing best practice guidance when needed.
What goes into a cyber security incident response plan?
A basic cyber security incident response plan would include simple steps and actions to take in the event of an attack.
However, we understand that a more in-depth strategy is needed to prevent, manage, and recover from cyber security attacks. Due to this, our GRC Specialists will work with you to create a strong cyber security incident response plan tailored to your organisation’s needs.
We align to industry best practice – including NCSC, SANS Institute, CIS and NIST – to build a robust CSIRP unique to your organisation, third parties, and in line with legal and regulatory requirements. Using the PICERL framework, we ensure that your cyber security incident response plan covers all areas:
Preparation
Identification
Containment
Eradication
Remediation

Cyber security incident response plan FAQs
Incident response in cyber security is the process of identifying, containing, analysing, and resolving cyber attacks or breaches. It aims to minimise the impact and duration of a cyber incident, restore normal operations as soon as possible, and prevent similar incidents from happening again. Incident response also involves communicating with internal and external stakeholders, such as customers, regulators, media, and law enforcement, to manage the reputational and legal risks of a cyber incident.
