Cyber-attacks are increasing in frequency, sophistication and impact, with perpetrators continually refining their efforts to compromise systems, networks and information world-wide. A key driver of this trend is the increasing usage of technology to improve customer service and operational efficiency.

Business Law WA (BLWA), have prepared a Cyber Incident Policy and Incident Response Plan to provide your business with the tools to manage and respond to a Cyber Incident. The Cyber Incident Policy and Incident Response Plan is a formalised strategy that outlines the steps your business should take when a Cyber Incident occurs. This Cyber Incident Policy and Incident Response Plan is essential for minimising damage, ensuring a swift recovery, and maintaining business continuity. It serves as a roadmap for responding to various types of Cyber Incidents, such as data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other security incidents.

The policy and plan are intended to provide a foundational document that can better prepare your business to react to a cyberattack and can be further customised to suit your business needs.
