    Security Plans Overview

    • Common security plans implemented across various organizations include:
      • Business continuity plan (BCP)
      • Disaster recovery plan (DRP)
      • Backup plan
      • Incident response plan (IRP)

    Business Continuity Plan (BCP)

    • BCP is essential for preparing organizations for emergencies.
    • Ensures continuous operation of critical functions during a disaster.
    • Initiated by conducting a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to assess potential damage and necessary recovery actions.

    Business Impact Analysis (BIA)

    • BIA includes:
      • Immediate actions required for recovery
      • Identification of personnel responsible for restoration
      • Cost estimates for management decisions
    • Plans are classified based on attack severity:
      • Disastrous attacks necessitate a disaster recovery plan.
      • Non-disastrous attacks require an incident response plan.

    Training for Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) Team

    • Team members require initial and comprehensive training tailored to their roles.
    • Refresher training is essential for maintaining current skills.
    • Training length and scope should suit individual responsibilities.

    Testing of Security Controls

    • Various methods to test effectiveness include:
      • Checklist review, a straightforward form of testing.
      • In-place controls that currently exist within operational systems.
      • Planned controls that have set implementation dates.
    • Thousands of types of risk mitigation security controls exist, categorized based on purpose.

    Identifying and Evaluating Countermeasures

    • In-place countermeasures can be assessed for effectiveness.
    • Planned countermeasures should be evaluated for current threats and vulnerabilities.
    • Proper personnel notification during an incident can be streamlined with predefined structures and scripts.

    Incident Response Plan (IRP)

    • Focus on activating containment strategies immediately during an incident.
    • Essential for documenting incidents systematically.

    Conclusion

    • Effective security plans such as BCP, DRP, and IRP are critical for organizational resilience.
    • Regular training, testing, and evaluation of countermeasures are vital for ongoing security readiness.
