Incident Response Planning & Analysis

Be Prepared: Develop Your Incident Response Plan

Having a strong Incident Response Plan in place before a security breach occurs can minimize the duration, disruption and cost of a breach.

With Dell SecureWorks’ Incident Response Planning & Analysis services, our expert consultants work with you to prepare your organization to respond quickly and effectively to a security incident.

Establish an effective Incident Response Plan based on best practices

For many organizations, the most challenging aspects of creating a Computer Incident Response Plan (CIRP) are the lack of visibility into an evolving threat landscape, and what proven practices work well when responding to an incident. Given the importance of the Incident Response Plan, IT must formulate a process that acts as a very effective countermeasure against a major security threat. 

An Incident Response Plan from Dell SecureWorks typically includes incident definitions, scenario definitions, team definitions, calling trees, escalation procedures and other key elements. This service also includes help with establishing the correct governance frameworks. This in turn defines the relationship of the CIRP and the response capability to a variety of internal stakeholders, including formal committee charters, detailed procedures, metrics and report frameworks.

Reduce the costs of a security breach to your organization

A security breach impacts the bottom line of any organization. It costs your business money through lost productivity and opportunity, lost sales activity, and damage to your reputation and brand. A security breach also erodes the credibility of IT in the eyes of executives. 

Our consultants work with you to develop an effective Computer Incident Response Plan (CIRP). Your Incident Response Plan will detail what needs to happen so you and your team can respond quickly and effectively to a security breach, and minimize the costs to your organization.

Accelerate the maturity of your IT organization

Incident response planning is a critical component for any mature IT organization. However, limited resources and unlimited demands make it challenging for IT personnel to take the time and put the right action plans in place.

We can help your incident response planning, and accelerate the maturity of your IT organization. In addition, Dell SecureWorks’ incident response plans are based on known best practices tailored to your organization’s specific needs. Dell SecureWorks partners with you to create a game plan that heightens the capabilities of your team and accelerates your organization’s  IT maturity.
