Security Incident Response

Security incidents can have a major impact on your business, particularly if your organization is poorly prepared. Businesses must therefore have an appropriate emergency plan. The aim must be to effectively limit the damage caused by security incidents through a proven process and specific measures.
Laws and contracts, as well as legal and industry regulations, already require appropriate reactions to security incidents in IT. The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation includes very high financial penalties for companies in the event of privacy breaches.
But even companies and organizations that take countless precautions cannot always prevent security incidents. This is why it is essential that attacks and privacy breaches are detected and addressed early on according to predefined rules.

Good preparation can minimize damage.
But in a worst-case scenario, you need support too.

A cybersecurity incident response plan can help limit both the duration of the security incident and the damage caused. It can shorten the time required to restore operations and data, as well as helping to meet reporting obligations laid out in the EU GDPR or the German IT Security Act (IT-Sicherheitsgesetz). Having a plan is one thing, but you need someone to implement it as well. Companies often lack experts who can react quickly and effectively to threats. SVA’s Cyber Defense Team can provide support in a worst-case scenario, helping both businesses and authorities to analyze, limit and resolve threats.
