What is the challenge?

When it comes to data breaches, it is best to consider that it is a question of when, not if. Therefore, the key to incident response is anticipation. It may sound counter-intuitive, but the best way to deal with an unpleasant surprise is to have planned for it; to remove the element of surprise altogether.
Retained Forensics, Incident Management and Containment Support are therefore the crucial elements of an Incident Response plan. These services are also an important way to demonstrate strong data governance and adherence to regulations such as GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act (2018), which in turn will mitigate the extent of fines imposed in the event of a breach.

Who needs this service?

Even with the best information security strategy in place, given the persistence and resilience of cyber attackers there is a remote chance that a system might still be attacked. With a Retained Forensics team on board however, remedial action will be swift, minimising financial and reputational damage. Demonstrating a proactive approach to protecting your customer’s data also puts you in a stronger position when dealing with acquiring banks or any other regulatory authorities.

What does a Retained Forensics and Incident Response service involve?
The service employs the skills of experienced professionals to oversee the high level management of cyber defences across all networks and infrastructure. A Retained Forensics team will establish, direct and manage a test and exercise programme to ensure that a system is as secure as it can be. With their thorough knowledge of an organisation’s systems they will also be on hand and ready to assist in putting the agreed action plan in place in the event of a breach. In this way, the 72-hour reporting element of GDPR will be achievable and the mitigation process will be well in hand before the deadline.
