To make sure companies are prepared with well-rounded, updated plans, Experian's annual Data Breach Response Guide has been refreshed to focus on the importance of regularly updating a response plan. In addition, this year's guide includes new content regarding the importance of looking outside of one's own organization when creating a response plan and engaging essential external partners that can offer specific expertise in the face of a breach.
"Response plans are not documents that should be created and then forgotten about until they're actually needed during a breach," said
The complimentary guide can be downloaded at http://bit.ly/2c4kvZy.
The guide's new content includes a more in-depth section on selecting external partners, such as cyber insurers, and legal partners. The guide also includes a section on global breaches, as the new UK regulations have made this subject top of mind for many international companies. Organizations that have not yet developed a plan will benefit from content addressing the notification process and the public relations component of a breach response.
