Cyber Incident Response Plan

Mocha Productions Ltd. Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan

1. Preparation & Prevention

Asset Identification & Prioritisation

  • Catalogue all critical assets: customer data, financial records, cloud-hosted assets, and high-value video footage stored on air-gapped servers.
  • Conduct regular asset audits to ensure nothing is left in the dark (or the digital equivalent of a dusty attic).

Backup & Recovery Strategy

  • Schedule frequent, encrypted backups of all vital data with offsite storage to guarantee swift recovery.
  • Test recovery procedures regularly—because if you don’t practise, you might end up in a “backed up” situation when you really need to get back on track.

Access Control & Cyber Hygiene

  • Implement stringent role-based access controls across all platforms, ensuring that only the right people have the right keys to the digital kingdom.
  • Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) and keep user permissions under continuous review.

Staff Training & Awareness

  • Provide regular cybersecurity training sessions to ensure every team member recognises phishing attempts and other threats.
  • Cultivate a culture where “If it smells funny, it probably is” becomes the unwritten motto for suspicious emails or activities.

2. Detection & Identification

Continuous Monitoring & Threat Intelligence

  • Deploy state-of-the-art monitoring tools on all systems—be it the cloud or the air-gapped server—to detect anomalies and potential threats in real time.
  • Integrate threat intelligence feeds to stay ahead of emerging risks and vulnerabilities.

Incident Detection & Assessment

  • Establish automated alerts for unusual activities affecting customer data, cloud assets, or footage integrity.
  • Ensure a clear process for assessing the severity and scope of each incident, determining if it’s a minor hiccup or a full-blown digital catastrophe.

Reporting Protocol

  • Empower every team member with a straightforward process to report suspected incidents immediately.
  • Maintain an ‘open door’ policy where timely reporting is both expected and rewarded (bonus points if you spot a threat before it causes chaos).

3. Containment, Eradication & Resolution

Immediate Containment Measures

  • Swiftly isolate affected systems to prevent further spread, with specific protocols for the air-gapped server if it becomes compromised.
  • Utilise network segmentation and, where necessary, temporary shutdowns to contain the threat.

Incident Resolution & Eradication

  • Work with both in-house IT experts and external cybersecurity professionals to remove the threat entirely from the environment.
  • Conduct forensic analysis to understand the breach’s origin and ensure that no stone—or byte—is left unturned.

System Recovery & Business Continuity

  • Prioritise the recovery of critical systems, especially those handling sensitive customer data and high-value footage.
  • Follow pre-tested recovery plans, restoring data from secure backups while ensuring system integrity.

4. Communication & Reporting

Internal Communication

  • Immediately notify senior management and the designated incident response team once an incident is confirmed.
  • Keep internal stakeholders updated with clear, factual, and jargon-free communications to avoid unnecessary panic (and to preserve that famous Mocha calm).

External Notification & Regulatory Compliance

  • Notify affected customers, regulatory bodies, and, where applicable, law enforcement—ensuring compliance with all legal obligations.
  • Prepare official statements to reassure external stakeholders that the situation is being handled with the utmost professionalism.

5. Post-Incident Analysis & Continuous Improvement

Incident Review & Lessons Learned

  • Conduct a comprehensive post-incident review to assess what happened, why, and how it was handled.
  • Document findings, including any gaps in the response process, to prevent future occurrences—learning from mistakes is, after all, the best way to improve.

Plan Updates & Cybersecurity Enhancements

  • Regularly update the incident response plan based on lessons learned and evolving cybersecurity threats.
  • Continuously invest in new technologies and training to fortify defenses, ensuring that Mocha Productions Ltd. stays one step ahead of cybercriminals.

Ongoing Training & Drills

  • Schedule routine drills and simulations to test the incident response plan’s effectiveness, ensuring everyone knows their role when the going gets tough.
  • Update training materials as new threats emerge—because in the world of cybersecurity, complacency is the enemy.
