Incident Handling
Unfortunately, many organisations discover weaknesses in their systems only after the event – when security has already been compromised.
Then, once systems or communications tampering, information warfare, sabotage, fraud and other forms of computer misuse have come to light, there is often aggravating confusion and unhelpful conjecture about how things went wrong, who was to blame and what to do next.
CCC has considerable experience of dealing with this type of situation, so that our Incident Handling services achieves far better outcomes than the typical damage limitation exercise. The response to a breach in security must be swift, but it must also be methodical, intelligent and apt. On instruction we act quickly to:
- Damp down panic and blame dispersal
- Determine the true extent of the incident
- Protect systems and networks from further attack
- Assess and prevent the risk of inadvertent, internal harm to systems
- Re-establish normal operating conditions
- Protect sensitive data
- Recover systems and data
- Provide a clear understanding of events and advise next steps accordingly
- Where appropriate, conduct investigations to the required legal standards of procedure
We have recourse to the latest technologies and methods in forensic examination and investigation, and the professional expertise to apply them to best effect. We hope you will never need them. They’re there in case you ever do.
