Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)


How does Incident Readiness differ from Incident Response?

Incident Response is primarily concerned with the specific response to an incident that has occurred. Incident readiness, on the other hand, focuses on forward-looking preparation in order to be able to act as effectively as possible in an emergency.

How long does it take to improve our incident readiness?

That depends on the complexity of your organization. An initial maturity analysis can usually be implemented within a few weeks. Subsequent measures can take a few months until they are fully established.

Which teams should be involved in the readiness process?

In addition to the IT department, we recommend involving management, PR/communications, legal, HR and, if necessary, external security specialists. The more comprehensive the team, the faster and more effectively you can react.

Can we update our incident readiness concept regularly?

Absolutely. Security threats and technical environments are constantly changing. Therefore, processes and templates should be reviewed and adapted at least annually.

How do you specifically support us in tool selection?

We analyze your current technical stack and your process requirements. We then recommend tried-and-tested technologies that can be seamlessly integrated. Of course, the final decision is up to you.
