Incident Response & Management

To ensure the organization can continue its normal operations as smoothly as possible.

What is Incident response and management?

Refers to the process of identifying, investigating, and responding to security incidents in an organized and effective manner. It involves a series of steps and actions taken to mitigate the impact of an incident, minimize potential damage, and restore normal operations as quickly as possible. The goal of incident response and management is to reduce the impact of incidents, preserve evidence for investigation, and improve overall resilience against future incidents.

Incident Response & Management

The components of Incident Response and Management

• Preparation

• Detection and Reporting

• Incident Assessment and Classification

• Containment and Mitigation

• Investigation and Analysis

• Response and Recovery

• Communication and Reporting

Implementing the ISO 27001 Information Security Management System:

• A systematic study of information security risks within the organization

taking into account threats, vulnerabilities and the effects resulting.

• Design and implement a coherent and comprehensive set of

information security controls, risk handling procedures unacceptable risks.

• Adopting a comprehensive information security system to ensure

that information security controls continue to meet the organization's information security needs on an ongoing basis.

The methodology of Incident response and management

Establish an incident response team (IRT) with defined roles, responsibilities, and communication channels

Detection and Identification: Deploy monitoring and detection systems to identify security incidents promptly. Establish incident notification channels and ensure the timely reporting of incidents

Containment and Eradication: Isolate affected systems, networks, or assets to prevent further damage or spread of the incident. Collect and preserve evidence for forensic analysis to understand the root cause and nature of the incident

Investigation and Analysis:Perform a detailed investigation to determine the extent of the incident, compromised assets, and potential vulnerabilities

Response and Recovery: Develop and implement a comprehensive response plan tailored to the incident's specifics

Reporting and Communication: Document and report the incident, including its details, impact, response actions, and findings

Lessons Learned and Improvement: Conduct a post-incident review and analysis to identify lessons learned and areas for improvement
