Why is incident response preparation important?


Incident Preperation

Security incidents can be very damaging. Organisations often struggle when their computer systems are attacked. A lack of preparation can be harmful and in some cases incursions have been so severe that the organisation has been unable to recover and consequently fails.

It’s vital that organisations are sufficiently prepared to handle adverse events so that they can respond quickly and minimise any potential disruption. Its also important to record the steps taken and outcomes so that if a regulator such as the Information Commissioners Office investigates you, you have the information to show that you did things correctly.

How prepared is your organisation for a security incident? The DLP Incident Response Audit Assessment helps organisations identify potential problem areas in their incident response planning and provides expert advice on how improvements can be made.
