Computer Incident Response Plan (CIRP) Development Service

The worst time to realize that you are not prepared for a security incident is during a breach. Security incidents are emergency situations that place a great deal of pressure on IT staff charged with responding. Without a comprehensive Computer Incident Response Plan (CIRP) detailing roles and responsibilities, procedures and other key elements, stressed IT staff must make crucial decisions without the proper sense of order and priority. This can lead to poor decisions that make the situation worse than necessary and prolong the incident.

Dell SecureWorks’ Computer Incident Response Plan (CIRP) Program Development service assists you in developing a CIRP to allow you to reliably detect and respond to security incidents at both a strategic and tactical level.

Prepare your organization to respond effectively to a security breach

When a security breach occurs, response time is critical. How quickly and effectively your organization detects and responds in the first hours will determine whether the impact is small or severe. Having a plan in place beforehand will allow personnel to move quickly and make the best decisions that can minimize the impact.

Through the Dell SecureWorks Computer Incident Response Plan Development service, our consultants share our knowledge and experience to enable your organization to detect and respond to a security breach quickly and effectively. An Incident Response Plan from Dell SecureWorks takes into consideration your organization’s unique circumstances and challenges, and best practices we see deployed across industries.

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.

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.

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

An Incident Response Plan 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.
