Great! You've got your incident response plan nailed down, now make sure you test it at least once a year. Mark Weatherford, chief cyber security strategist for security vendor vArmour, suggests working with an independent third-party the first time you test in order to see the necessary elements and criteria. The drill can last two hours or may require a full day. But by walking everyone through a specific scenario, people start to understand their own roles and identify any gaps in the plan. "Things never work like clockwork, but if you have a chain of command – and communications – it will help a lot," Weatherford adds.
Depending on your industry sector or jurisdiction, the company may be subject to compliance laws that require you to test your readiness regularly.
