Incident Management involves executing a coordinated response once an incident is declared.
It includes validating and prioritizing reports, escalating as necessary, and applying predefined criteria to determine when to transition from response to recovery.
Incident Analysis focuses on investigating and understanding cybersecurity incidents by identifying root causes, estimating impact, and categorizing events according to response plans.
It ensures proper handling of disclosed vulnerabilities, maintains detailed records with integrity, and supports informed response through structured analysis.
Incident Response Reporting and Communication ensures clear, timely communication during incidents.
It defines roles, notifies internal and external stakeholders, facilitates coordinated response, and supports voluntary information sharing to enhance overall cybersecurity awareness.
Incident Mitigation focuses on minimizing damage by containing and eradicating incidents.
It also addresses newly discovered vulnerabilities through mitigation or formal risk acceptance.
ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO
Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.
As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!
I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
