The Threat of Cyber-Attacks Greater Reality
For All Organizations
Risk Management is an episodically executed process comprised of a set of coordinated activities for overseeing and controlling risks. The process targets the enhancement of strategic and tactical security and includes the execution of a Risk Assessment, the implementation of a risk mitigation strategy, and the engagement of risk control techniques and procedures for the continuous monitoring of the security state of the information system. Cloud-based information systems, as with traditional information systems, require that risks be managed throughout the system development lifecycle (SDLC).

During A Breach or Security IncidentRepresentation and Reporting
As part of our Incident Response infrastructure, we work hand in hand with your organization, your senior leadership as well as Legal Counsel to help you accurately and systematically report what is needed and authorized – protecting your organization and your rights throughout the lifecycle of the incident as well as post-incident.
Reporting should not have to be a “fear-factor” event. It is common and when handled correctly and with the correct information, it can often lead to more credibility and a sense of positive action from your organization in the eyes of the receiving entities.

Governing US bodies for example look favorably when voluntary discussions and disclosures are made in good faith and with accurate data, this allows them to take notice that you are attempting to get in front of the matter, ensure all parties have the right information, and most importantly you are not attempting to omit or cover up any happenings.
As part of our Incident Response engagement, we see this through to success and ensure we are there to represent your technical interests in the matter, working with Legal Teams – sometimes for many years as required, to ensure that your interests are consistently represented.

Public Relations
Incident Response
When a security incident occurs, it’s inevitable that you will find yourself working with media and media outlets that are working diligently to get as many answers to the public as possible. You’ll find that journalists, investors, customers, partners, and sometimes even US Government Entities, press the leadership and public relations team at the company’s answers. Those questions generally sound like this:
- What happened and why did it happen?
- Do you know who attacked you?
- Did they get to any data like personally identifiable information or patient health records?
- Have you determined what was accessed?
- Did they exfiltrate any data?
- How and when did you find out?

Pressure builds quickly to answer these questions, that pressure can easily lead to misinformation or the wrong thing being said. How you respond can be the difference between aggravating the reputational and financial damages from a data breach, versus minimizing and mitigating them. The wrong response can even go so far as to aid the attackers.
Very few organizations have the forethought to plan for public relations related to a breach or security incident. Let alone, even the most socially connected PR professionals can find themselves at a loss of words or actions at the height of the storm.
The first step to executing an effective data breach public relations plan is to rely on your best source of knowledge and truth to lead the efforts and ensure that all the materials of the Playbook are created to safeguard your brand and your legal exposure. Our Playbook works hand in hand with Stakeholders, Leadership, as well as inside and outside Legal Teams.

Part of Every Incident
During a cyber incident, the PR team will be racing to fill in the blanks of exactly what should be said and when. These decisions shouldn’t be made in a silo. In serious incident response, most companies seek help from three sources: Legal Counsel, Senior Leadership, and professionals like the Digital Forge Cyber First Responders TM who are experts in identifying, containing, and remediating cyber threats and provide the correct information to make PR efforts more effective This prevents talking points from, for example, violating legal privilege, and seeding misinformation about the investigation. There is a substantial risk of doing harm by saying something that does not have credibility during incident response. We deliver measured and correct public relation efforts with all incident response engagements, you simply should not have to be without it, nor should you have to pay more for it.
