Incident Response Playbooks

Organisations usually face the same types of attacks, whether it be phishing, malware, DoS or suspicious activities. Responders actions can sometimes be inconsistent, adhoc and largely depend on a few individuals’ past experiences and knowledge, especially if no documented procedures exist.

We can create tailor-made playbooks for your responders to follow in an incident and reduce the impact of a cyberattack.

Preparation is Key

“Be prepared!” as the old Scout motto says, means having well-thought-through instructions for what to do when a Cybersecurity incident occurs. Pre-made and well prepared playbooks enables your teams to be able to respond quicker, hopefully limiting any potential damage to the organisation or its customer’s data.

Your playbooks will cover:

  • The steps that should be taken to resolve the type of incident as quickly as possible
  • Customised to align with your teams and roles within your organisation
  • Guidance on building out sub-processes according to best practice and your toolset
  • Recommendations for uplift in maturity for your people, processes and technology
  • Sets the foundations for teams to be able to respond, before moving to advanced exercises (e.g. tabletops, adversary emulations and purple teaming)
  • Includes a pre-session to understand and customise the number and types of playbooks based on your organisation’s desired outcomes
