Study Notes
Incident Response Plan
- The incident response plan should cover communication within the team, with other groups within the organization, and with third parties.
- The plan should include the approval of senior management to provide authority when taking unpopular actions during incident response.
Developing the Plan
- Consult NIST SP 800-61 to guide decisions when developing the plan.
- Look at existing plans developed by other organizations, such as Carnegie Mellon University's plan, to get a starting point.
- The plan should include a statement of purpose, strategies and goals for incident response, and a description of the organization's approach to incident response.
Incident Response Team
- Create an incident response team that is available 24/7 and has primary and backup personnel assigned to cover vacations and extended periods of operation.
Incident Response Process
- The incident response process involves perpetual monitoring to watch for signs that an incident is occurring or has already taken place.
- Incident response should prioritize containment over evidence preservation, if necessary.
- The plan should describe clear strategies and goals for first responders and those handling incidents at a more strategic level.
Legal Considerations
- Involve the legal team in incident response planning efforts to get guidance on laws and regulations that apply to the organization.
- Consider notification requirements for incidents, such as reporting to law enforcement or government agencies, and timely notification of individuals in case of a personal information breach.
- Ensure secure communication channels are in place before an incident occurs to share information with trusted employees and third parties.
