Incident response plan
Published Reviewed
An incident response plan is the prepared, rehearsed procedure an organisation follows when a security incident occurs: who decides, who investigates, who communicates, and which legal clocks start. The clocks are the hard part — NIS2’s 24-hour early warning, GDPR’s 72-hour breach notification, and DORA’s reporting timelines can all run from one event, each to a different authority with different content.
