Marsh’s team of cyber risk advisors can create a best-for-you incident response plan, so that you can respond and recover from attacks quicker.

As cyberattacks increase in both volume and sophistication, many businesses are adopting a “when, not if” approach to cybersecurity.

Now, more than ever, proactive planning is critical to effectively and efficiently respond to and recover from a cyberattack. Having an appropriate framework to respond and recover from attacks, will help avoid chaos and stress.

Why is it important to have a Cyber Incident Response Plan?

Identifying your resilience plan in the event of a cyber incident will allow you to develop your response procedures, reducing the impact of a cyber incident on your business activities.

Businesses must evaluate the potential impacts of a cyberattack, and be prepared to pivot their operations, assets, and people in its aftermath. Thoughtful planning can help ensure your organisation has the right strategies, processes, and communications in place during a crisis.

How it works

Marsh’s team of cyber risk advisors can help develop or update your incident response plan in line with today’s best practices based on real world events.

Using our experience in managing cyber incidents we are able to review your existing response procedures and business continuity documentation, as well as carrying out a workshop with your key stakeholders to understand your vulnerabilities and agree on cyber scenarios to build response procedures around.

Part of planning for the impacts of a potential cyberattack can also include testing the plan. Marsh will run through and simulate scenarios to develop an appropriate plan.

FAQs

A cyber incident response plan is a set of instructions that helps an organisation to identify, respond to and recover from cybersecurity incidents.

A cybersecurity incident response plan includes the security measures that an organisation should follow to respond to a cyberattack as it happens. The plan is broken up into 3 segments

  • Pre-incident: the plan documents the tools, resources and  personnel required to react to the incident
  • Incident response: the main segment that lists the step by step approach to be taken in response to an incident and restore the organisation back to regular business operations.
  • Post-incident: This segment documents the requirements for incident forensics and investigation to identify the failures that resulted in the incident occurring and the lessons learnt during the incident response stage.
