How does Incident Response Planning work?
Step 1 – Deployment
The service is rapidly deployed and scalable, being delivered as a combination of on-site and remote discovery and collaboration and off-site analysis, report generation and recommendation.
Step 2 – Analysis
Discovery agents are deployed at key points on your network/s (internal, cloud and hybrid) to identify network traffic meta data and identify digital assets. Metadata on assets is processed and analysed within our secure cloud centres and presented to our security consultants for validation and posture assessment. No payload data is sent outside your organisation.
Step 3 – Collaboration
Consultants work with your staff to correctly classify asset criticality, relative vulnerability and determine remediation action and priority.
Step 4 – Discovery
During discovery, we will work with your staff to review various source materials related to each individual Area of Concern (AoC) and the wider business strategy. This will ensure we understand the systems in place and the context in which they operate including valuable user-centric context.
Step 5 – Reporting
Our team will review and analyse the information gathered and provide you with a report of the activities undertaken and recommended improvement opportunities. The report will also contain details of our findings, the associated gap analysis and risk assessment undertaken.
