As a governance leader, your role in the incident response process is pivotal. Gain a comprehensive understanding of your responsibilities and the crucial steps to guide your team effectively.

From the introduction of “Navigating the Maze of Incident Response“:

Cyber security incidents are an inevitability. It’s important to start an incident response (IR) the right way, with a thorough understanding of what to do, when to do it, and who needs to be involved. Beyond the obvious questions about the scope of the compromise and how to regain control, it’s important to preserve evidence, as well as understand your compliance and regulatory obligations.

This guide explains how to structure an incident response, with recommendations and best practices to help navigate those crucial initial hours after a breach is detected.

While a wealth of material on IR best practices already exists, this document focuses first and foremost on the people and processes involved in effectively responding to an incident—the roles required to respond to incidents, how to manage your response in way that is efficient and people-centric, how to avoid burnout and ensure all requirements and obligations are met at every level, and how to ensure everyone’s roles and responsibilities are clear, so the incident response is effective overall.
