Cyber threats are growing more sophisticated, and organisations must be ready to respond swiftly and effectively. That’s where a Cyber
Security
Incident Response Team (CSIRT) comes in. This specialised team is essential for protecting your business during a cyber incident and ensuring you recover with minimal disruption.
What is a CSIRT?
A CSIRT is a dedicated team responsible for:
- Detecting Cyber Incidents: Monitoring your systems for threats such as malware, ransomware, or unauthorised access.
- Responding to Attacks: Taking immediate action to contain, investigate, and resolve incidents.
- Recovering Operations: Ensuring your business returns to normal as quickly and securely as possible.
- Preventing Future Threats: Analysing incidents to identify root causes and implement measures to reduce risks.
CSIRT Structure:
While the exact structure of a CSIRT may vary depending on the organisation’s size and needs, key roles typically
include:
- Incident Manager: Oversees the response process and ensures all actions align with organisational goals.
- Technical Experts: Investigate the technical aspects of the incident, such as vulnerabilities and attack vectors.
- Communications Lead: Manages internal and external communication to ensure clear, consistent messaging.
- Legal/Compliance Advisor: Ensures responses meet regulatory and legal requirements.
- Stakeholder Liaison: Keeps leadership and stakeholders informed throughout the process.
Why Every Organisation Needs a CSIRT
A CSIRT doesn’t just respond to incidents—it provides a framework for preparedness, accountability, and resilience. Without one, your organisation is vulnerable to longer recovery times, greater financial losses, and reputational damage during a breach.
