Stage 5 – Recovery: The final layer of your cyber defence-in-depth strategy

Delivered by: Alan Calder, Founder and Executive Chairman, IT Governance and GRC International Group

Recovering from a cyber attack or data breach can be more disruptive than an organisation has planned for.

Most of the time, an organisation can restore enough critical services to be able to continue functioning, but it can take months to fully return to business as usual.

Cyber incident response is a part of wider business continuity management. It helps you put plans in place to cover all types of unplanned disruption, from cyber security incidents to natural disasters, from power outages to pandemics.

This is especially important when it comes to breaches of personal data, which may need to be reported to the data protection authorities within 72 hours of being discovered under the DPA (Data Protection Act) 2018 and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
