Good cyber and physical security can make or break companies. While it would be preferable that security breaches or incidents not take place at all, they don’t necessarily signal the death of an organization unless responded to in a poor fashion (or not at all).

The purpose of this Security Response Policy, written by Scott Matteson for TechRepublic Premium, is to outline the security incident response processes which must be followed.

Featured text from the policy:

Priority 1 (P1) incident

This is considered a crisis and may be triggered by one of the following events:

DDoS with no near-term mitigation.

Confirmed theft of significant data.

Active insider resulting in a major confidential data loss.

Malware resulting in data destruction or systemic failures.
