CIRP (Cyber Incident Response Plan)
A cyber incident response plan (CIRP) is created to respond to potential computer incidents, such as hacking, data breaches, viruses, ransomware, or network failures. Preparing for an incident, data recovery, notification to affected parties, and backup plans are standard components of a CIRP. These plans are often developed in consultation with cyber professionals.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About CIRP (Cyber Incident Response Plan)
Planning for a cyber disaster is not something any small business wants to do, but it is required. The failure to prepare for a cyber incident can leave a small business exposed to hackers if something goes wrong. Many companies fail to recover from a cyber attack. With a CIRP in place, small businesses can prevent such outcomes.
