Cyber Incident Response Plan¶

Introduction

At Potentiality PTY LTD, we recognize that our commitment to security and operational reliability is pivotal to our success and client satisfaction. This Integrated Incident Response Plan (IIRP) outlines our approach to effectively managing both cyber incidents and system malfunctions that may impact our clients.

1. Preparation¶

Objective: Equip our team with the necessary skills, tools, and information to prevent, detect, and respond to any incident—be it security-related or a system malfunction.

• Training: Conduct regular training that covers security practices and system troubleshooting techniques.
• Tools and Resources: Utilize reliable tools for system monitoring, diagnostics, and cybersecurity to swiftly identify and address issues.
• Incident Response Team (IRT): Comprise members from IT, customer support, and management. External technical support may be enlisted for additional expertise.
• Communication Plan: Ensure clear protocols for communicating incident updates internally and to clients, maintaining transparency and trust.

2. Identification¶

Objective: Quickly detect any form of incident, from cyber threats to unexpected system failures.

• Monitoring and Alerts: Implement robust monitoring systems that trigger alerts for unusual activity or system anomalies.

3. Containment¶

Objective: Stabilize the situation to prevent further impact, whether it’s isolating a security breach or addressing a service outage.

• Immediate Response Actions: Take prompt actions to contain the incident, such as segmenting the network or rerouting traffic to stable systems.

4. Eradication and Resolution¶

Objective: Remove the underlying cause of the incident and restore system integrity.

• Thorough Investigation: Determine the root cause, whether it’s a security vulnerability or a hardware failure, and apply the necessary fixes.
• System Cleanup and Repair: Clear out any harmful elements if a security breach occurs, and repair or replace faulty components in the case of hardware issues.

5. Recovery¶

Objective: Carefully bring systems back to normal operation while ensuring they are secure and functional.

• Gradual Restoration: Reintegrate systems into the production environment after thorough testing to ensure stability and security. Due to the nature of our Amazon Web Services, we can complete a full system restore within 3 hours from start.
• Monitoring Post-Recovery: Keep a close watch for any signs of recurring issues or incomplete resolution.

6. Lessons Learned¶

Objective: Enhance our response strategies and preventive measures by learning from each incident.

• Post-Incident Review: Conduct a detailed analysis of the incident and response efficacy, involving all relevant personnel.
• Plan Update: Continuously update this plan based on insights gained and evolving industry practices.

7. Documentation¶

Objective: Maintain detailed documentation for compliance, analysis, and ongoing improvement.

• Incident Logging: Document every aspect of the incident management process, from initial detection to post-recovery actions.
