Not just an audit requirement and more than an IT document: Your CIRP ensures that YOU, the person who will lead your organization through a crisis, has done your due diligence to be successful during an actual crisis. Your CIRP must resonate with IT and your leadership team (including your Board) and must address the myriad non-technical considerations that occur during a cyber incident. Although planning rarely answers all questions that may arise during an incident, it does yield thoughtful anticipation, collaboration, and research.
Our cyber incident response plan (CIRP) development service goes beyond technical checklists. Build a custom, actionable plan designed specifically for your organization’s unique risks, structure, and culture.
Your plan prepares your team for potential threats, while also ensuring rapid, coordinated action when a real incident occurs, minimizing disruption and protecting your organization’s reputation.
Leverage our Top Down, Risk Based, Business Focused approach, starting with management’s risk narrative and ultimately ending with specific by-name assignments for every possible requirement your organization may need to address. Our approach is the product of weekly coaching, where you and I collaboratively build your custom plan.
If you can't articulate your risks, how will you manage them?
An enduring military practice designed to ensure success on the battlefield.
Our NIST CSF (800-61r3) & ISO 27035-compliant CIRP clearly defines roles, workflows, and response steps. More than a document, your CIRP is a comprehensive game plan to keep your team ready as cyber threats and business requirements evolve.
