Incident Response

vSEC Incident Response

To quickly and successfully recover from a security breach you need to be prepared and have the right recovery plans in place.

A Cyber Security breach can be costly both financially and in reputational damage.  

When an incident arises there is no time to learn the ropes and work out what needs to be done and with cyber attacks on the increase across businesses of all sizes every organisation should be prepared.  

Every attack and potential breach is unique, but with any attack there are some common actions that need to be undertaken in a timely fashion. vSEC can work with you to develop, test and implement a robust response to incidents, providing the reassurance, that should the worst happen, an action plan is prepared and everyone knows what they need to do. 

 For the ultimate reassurance, businesses can also subscribe to  vSEC’s, virtual Chief Information Security officer service,  providing IT and InfoSec experts who, as part of that service, will be familiar with the IT and data environment, enabling them to assist in managing a significant security breach, should it arise.
