Improve your crisis response capabilities

Do you need help with implementing a Crisis Management framework or improving your crisis response capabilities?

Organizations often focus on the immediate technical investigation and response to cyber incidents. But is your organization prepared to deal with the wider organizational crisis that follows?

To ensure your company's survival, three elements are key:

Making sure you have an embedded crisis management framework (aligned to the international crisis standard ISO22361).

Ensuring you have a tried and tested crisis response plan.

Making sure you have the ability to continue delivering your critical services.

NIS2 requires appropriate measures

NIS2 requires that all essential and important entities in Europe take steps to reduce incident effects. Article 21 states:

'Member States shall ensure that essential and important entities take appropriate measures to manage risks, to prevent or minimize the impact of incidents, taking into account international standards. These shall include at least the following:

(c) business continuity, such as backup management and disaster recovery, and crisis management.'

Standards such as ISO 22361 - Crisis Management Guidelines - give organizations direction as to which measures should be in place including frameworks, principles and processes.

The word crisis is mentioned 32 times in the text of the NIS2 directive. Having crisis management and business continuity measures in place is a specific requirement of article 21.
