24\/7 monitoring of all network activity is an invaluable tool for enhancing your security posture. An effective Incident Response Plan (IRP) is essential to mitigation of attacks, while a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) provides support for unexpected environmental obstacles to information systems. For both IRP and DRP, a company must develop strategies to recover from unexpected interruptions, and exercise these plans to ensure all applicable personnel are prepped and aware of their roles. In Topic 5, a minor Business Impact Analysis (BIA) was conducted, which identified the critical assets to the company. These assets will be used to aid in the development of a contingency plan to ensure business continuity in the presence of an event. <\/p>\n
This assignment exercises the analysis and development of a Lite Contingency Plan (BIA, IRP, DRP, and Business Continuity Plan: BCP). The development of a workflow diagram is essential in displaying the relationship between the four components. This is critical for the IRP and DRP, as an IRP can launch a DRP when a threat disrupts a system through ransomware, DDoS, or other malicious attacks against a system. <\/p>\n
Use the following guidelines to create an 8- to 12-page report using the same corporate profile selected earlier. <\/p>\n
Business Impact Analysis <\/p>\n
In one to two paragraphs, summarize the objective of conducting a BIA for your selected company. Describe the benefits, potential outcomes, and company enhancements. <\/p>\n
Obtain the list of threats against the assets identified in your Topic 5 assignment, “Risk Management Assessment and Control,” and place them in a table. <\/p>\n
Prioritize this list from highest impact to lowest impact to the company. <\/p>\n
Add a column and describe how loss of the process, system, data, etc., will impact the company. <\/p>\n
Assuming worst-case scenario, add a column and describe the appropriate measures to recover from the threat. <\/p>\n
Incident Response Plan (IRP) <\/p>\n
In three to four pages, detail an IRP to include: <\/p>\n
Brief overview <\/p>\n
Roles and responsibilities (from Users to CISO) <\/p>\n
Reporting guidelines <\/p>\n
Example workflows diagram \u2013 Event to resolution <\/p>\n
Explain the six stages of incident handling as it relates to the company <\/p>\n
Escalation procedures with an associated chart <\/p>\n
Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) <\/p>\n
Establish a DRP Policy in one to two pages that contains the following in alignment with the company: <\/p>\n
Purpose <\/p>\n
Scope <\/p>\n
Roles and responsibilities <\/p>\n
Resource requirements <\/p>\n
Training requirements <\/p>\n
Exercise and testing schedules (include IRP exercise and schedules) <\/p>\n
Plan maintenance schedules <\/p>\n
Business Continuity Plan (BRP) <\/p>\n
In three to four pages, close out the assignment with a complete BC Plan that includes the following: <\/p>\n
Describe which usage strategy (Hot site, Warm site, or Cold site) the company will use and why (explain the benefit to the company). <\/p>\n
Explain how the company will use and sustain the usage strategy. <\/p>\n
Detail the critical systems\/assets recovery procedures. <\/p>\n
Provide processes to reestablish business operations and security operations. Include disaster to alternate site and restoration back to original state. <\/p>\n
Provide and describe a worst-case scenario timeline (disaster to recovery). <\/p>\n
Describe readiness, training, exercises, and BC process reviews\/updates. <\/p>\n
Include diagrams, tables, and charts as directed by the instructor. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
