Incident Response Plan

Not all security threats can be prevented. Having an Incident Response Plan for cyber incidents drastically reduces cyber risk and minimizes potential impact.

Prevention Isn’t Enough

Most companies spend ample time and money developing policies and procedures to prevent security breaches and data loss. Yet few devote the same energy to developing a contingency plan for handling a breach, should one occur.

An incident response plan informs departments how to correctly respond to a network attack or loss of data. Along with security awareness training, a well-developed incident response plan (IRP) should be part of every organization’s IT security toolkit.

Our experts will create a comprehensive incident response plan for your organization that will educate and train staff at all levels to securely handle and protect their data in the event of a security breach.

Rapid, Expert-Led Incident Response Planning with MegaplanIT

Maintenance of commercial continuity in the face of disruption. Having to deal with a data breach or a hacker is bad enough on its own, but when the incident is disruptive enough to cause the loss of a sale or potential customer, it can be disastrous. Having a detailed incident response plan in place will enable staff to keep the lights on and continue to bring in revenue during any of the following security breaches:

Critical Information Leaks

If a buffer overflow is present, an attacker can exploit it and cause your application to generate so much extra code that it ceases to function normally

Phishing and Smishing Attacks

Allow an attacker to inject an SQL query into your application that could tamper with or destroy sensitive information.

Trademark Copyright Infringement

Loopholes or flaws in your input validation code leave the door wide open for an attacker.

Social Engineering Attacks

Often seen in web applications, cross-site scripting flaws may allow an attacker to send malicious code to a different end user.

Website & DDOS Attacks

Allow an attacker to inject code and execute commands. The root cause is an input validation flaw.

Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) in the payment card industry involves deploying a recognized solution by the PCI council, where hardware, processes, and technology undergo rigorous testing against the current P2PE Standard v3.1 or earlier versions. The P2PE standard combines a recognized and certified PTS device with software and encryption methods to allow cardholder data to be encrypted upon swipe and transmitted encrypted throughout the merchant environment until decrypted within a decryption environment, inaccessible to the merchant.
In today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, achieving and maintaining PCI compliance is more critical than ever. With the latest update to PCI DSS 4.0.1, businesses must adapt to meet new standards designed to enhance security and flexibility. This updated PCI Compliance Checklist outlines the essential steps for staying compliant while optimizing your organization’s security posture.
As with many things in popular culture, the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) has many myths associated with it. The PCI DSS has existed for many years and despite the efforts of the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) and industry experts, many misconceptions and myths persist. Below we will cover some common PCI DSS myths vs. the reality.
The PCI DSS standard is largely responsible for dictating the way organizations all over the world approach cybersecurity and the protection of credit card data. As v4.0 of the standard approaches, organizations should aim to identify and plan updates for the aspects of their security and compliance programs that are most likely to be affected.
Employees of companies of all sizes are now either required to shelter in place or State and Government lock-downs are forcing companies to require their employees to work remotely. How will this impact your PCI-DSS Compliance?
