Building an Incident Response Plan

PNPriya Nair· VP, Security & Compliance January 16, 2026 6 min read

The middle of a breach is the worst time to figure out what to do. An incident response plan means your team acts decisively instead of panicking.

The phases

  • Prepare — roles, contacts, and tools defined in advance
  • Detect and analyse — confirm and scope the incident
  • Contain, eradicate, recover — stop it and restore safely
  • Learn — a post-incident review to prevent recurrence
A plan tested in a drill is worth ten plans that only exist on paper.

We help businesses build and rehearse incident response plans that hold up under real pressure.
