It can cover every aspect of the company's cyber security. This is the case, for example, with the incident management guide offered by the Belgian Cyber Security Centre and the Belgian Cyber Security Coalition.
A simplified version of this plan, more suitable for SMEs, will contain a description of the first steps and the people needed to respond in the event of a cyber-attack.
"}},{"componentType":"sectionTitle","title":"How to prepare it"},{"componentType":"paragraph","richBody":{"value":"The cyber security response plan should ideally be drawn up in conjunction with the company or organisation’s IT manager and management. It is part of the company's cyber security strategy.
"}},{"componentType":"sectionTitle","title":"What to consider (simplified version of the response plan)"},{"componentType":"paragraph","richBody":{"value":"The most important elements are:
(1,2) For your facilitation, we created a template you can use to centralize the required contact information.
(3) These first actions can be:
Do not switch on the company’s computers
Do not switch off machines that are already switched on but disconnect them from the Internet.
It is important to notify your bank of the incident as soon as possible so that it can block the company's accounts as a precaution during the incident. This prevents cybercriminals from accessing your accounts during the attack.
"}},{"componentType":"sectionTitle","title":"Where to keep the plan?"},{"componentType":"paragraph","richBody":{"value":"The crisis plan must not be stored solely on the computers of the people involved in the plan. These machines could be inaccessible during the cyber-attack.
It is best to print a copy for each of these people so that they can keep it at home. A copy will also be available in the workplace.
It's also a good idea to have a version on your mobile phone and to save the contact details of all the people involved.
"}},{"componentType":"sectionTitle","title":"Updates and tests"},{"componentType":"paragraph","richBody":{"value":"The plan must be updated each time one of the people mentioned leaves the company or changes position.
It is best to review the plan once a year.
In addition, testing this plan annually helps to familiarise the company's management with implementation of the plan. Responding rapidly to a cyber-attack considerably reduces the impact of the attack on the company or organisation. The more management is trained in how to implement the plan, the less serious the attack will be.
