5. Establish a Security Incident Plan Even with strong defences in place, incidents may still occur. A well- prepared incident response plan can minimise damage and help organisations recover quickly. Key components of an incident response plan include: Clear guidelines: Outline steps to contain, investigate and recover from a breach. Reporting obligations: Ensure the plan includes legal and regulatory requirements for disclosing incidents. Defined roles: Assign responsibilities for communication, resolution and reporting. Escalation process: Include a process for escalating issues and ensure this is updated for the holiday period if key staff are on leave. Preparation is critical to reducing the impact of an incident. Regularly testing your incident response plan ensures that everyone knows their roles and that it is updated as required.
