Cybersecurity Contingency Planning ( CCP )

In recent years, cybercrime and natural disasters have increased in frequency and severity. Institutions are required to ensure that their information technology (IT) equipment, services, and data are protected. The development of a plan to follow can reduce the impact of a security breach. A cybersecurity contingency plan is what we refer to as this plan.

An important risk management step is the implementation of a cybersecurity contingency plan. Instructions and recommendations are provided on how to recover the service and save data in the event of a security breach, which will significantly reduce the amount of damage. A root cause analysis of these breaches is also included in this plan.
