GoPerfect employs a robust incident response framework designed to minimize downtime, protect sensitive data, and maintain trust. The response plan is based on industry best practices, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and is tailored to our infrastructure.
- Preparation:
- Training & Simulations: Employees undergo regular training on security policies and incident response procedures, supplemented by quarterly tabletop exercises to simulate potential breaches.
- Policies & Playbooks: Incident response policies are documented and maintained in alignment with evolving threat landscapes. Playbooks cover common scenarios like malware, insider threats, and phishing attacks.
- Tools & Technology: Advanced monitoring tools, such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, provide 24/7 detection capabilities.
- Detection & Analysis:
- Continuous monitoring of systems for anomalies using real-time alerts and automated logging mechanisms.
- Correlation of data from various sources (e.g., firewalls, endpoint security tools, intrusion detection systems) to rapidly identify and classify incidents.
- Initial triage is performed within 15 minutes to assess severity and scope.
Incident Containment and Mitigation:
When a breach is confirmed, the focus shifts to containing its impact and mitigating further risks.
- Containment Protocols:
- Short-Term Measures: Isolate affected systems to prevent lateral movement.
- Preservation of Evidence: Secure forensic evidence for post-incident investigations.
- Communication with Teams: Notify internal stakeholders immediately to coordinate efforts.
- Mitigation Steps:
- Eradicate threats through patching vulnerabilities, removing malicious code, or applying security controls.
- Conduct root cause analysis to prevent similar issues in the future.
Recovery & Lessons Learned:
Once the incident is under control, efforts focus on restoring operations and improving processes.
- System Restoration: Affected systems are restored from secure backups, ensuring data integrity.
- Post-Incident Reporting: Detailed incident reports, including timelines, affected systems, and mitigation actions, are prepared and shared with stakeholders.
- Continuous Improvement: Lessons learned are incorporated into future protocols, and playbooks are updated accordingly.
Service-Level Agreements (SLAs):
- Incident Detection: Alerts issued within 15 minutes of detection.
- Containment: High-severity incidents contained within 1 hour.
- Resolution: Full remediation and recovery completed within 24–48 hours, depending on complexity.
Our breach response plan reflects GoPerfect’s commitment to safeguarding user data, responding rapidly to threats, and continuously refining processes to stay ahead of evolving risks.
