Foundational to the framework-based approach, our team leverages NIST 800-34 to manage incident response and disaster response. This approach provides instructions, recommendations, and considerations for federal information system contingency planning. By following the recommendations and guidelines of NIST, we will:

• Relocate the information systems and operations
• Recover information system functions
• Ensure operations continue throughout the incident
• Complete a diligent after-action review to improve future organizational security posture
• DRP/IRP tabletop testing

The purpose of a Tabletop Test is to validate your existing DRP/IRP documents and identify their strengths and weaknesses before an actual incident occurs. The Tabletop Test exercises are designed to be a learning tool, facilitate open discussion and ultimately improve your plans, procedures and playbooks. The key benefits of this process include: 

• Testing on real-world scenarios likely to impact your business/industry.
• Facilitators with years of Incident Response Command experience guiding the testing and reporting.
• Prioritized recommendations on how to best update plans and protocols.
• Reduction in the risk of incident impact through minimizing the. “scramble” after an actual incident or disaster is declared.
