It's better to plan when times are good...

If your business got hacked tomorrow and you were locked out of your company data, what would you do? There are many probably watching this that have already had their data hacked, but if you are one of the lucky businesses that have not had a data breach yet, then you need to prepare a plan.

The sad fact is that's not a matter of if but when this will happen. All good IT providers should have some form of response plan or playbook. This is a document that can be easily followed in the case of a data breach.

It includes your line of business applications, for example, your accounts package - if that gets hacked, what steps are necessary to recover and secure the system? A cyber response playbook is a go-to document that will help navigate steps by step all of the critical processes of securing and responding to a data breach.
