Insurers love emergency plans
With Incident Response Plan
to normal operation
The race starts with the identification of a security incident. An incident always costs money, but the question is, how significant will the impact be? Financial consequential damages in the form of lost revenue and the like can be contained with the right behavior. An Incident Response Plan ensures structured and efficient handling.
These questions are better asked before an incident
Why is a plan so important?
Where do authorities and responsibilities lie?
The core task of a defined crisis team: Clear definition of responsibilities and thus quick decision-making. This saves valuable time in coordination and organization.
How can spread be avoided?
Is there network segmentation to isolate infected systems? If this is known and implemented, this point can be a gamechanger with regard to consequential damages.
What are the critical business processes?
This question is elementary for returning to normal operation. Which systems need to be prioritized for restoration to be productive? This list is invaluable in any incident handling.
Which IT applications are needed for this?
If I know the critical processes, I also know which IT applications are necessary for these processes to run? This way I quickly arrive at a prioritization and a clear roadmap for restoration.
How do we communicate with which target group?
In the worst case, external and internal stakeholders immediately notice that something is wrong. Planning and managing this communication with the press, board, employees, and social media is a task not to be underestimated.
Using time efficiently
The race begins,
the process is set
The Incident Response Plan provides the framework for structured and efficient processing of a cyber incident. This framework is formulated in detail and provides guidance, among other things, on when a security incident actually exists.
- Ensures technical and organizational preparation
- Ensures timely, appropriate, and comprehensive action
- Achieves meaningful prioritization and coordination of activities
When recovering from a security incident, can range from days to weeks - millions of euros!

Think through and elaborate phases
International Standards: Yes -
Standard Report: No
We build our Incident Response Plans on international standards. These form the basis. Within this framework, we enrich them with best practices and our practical experience. We are not great theorists, but doers. This is how we develop the content for all relevant phases:
- Preparation
- Identification
- Containment
- Eradication
- Recovery
- Lessons Learned
