CSIRP

What is CSIRP?

Cyber Security Incident Response Plan

A documented plan for responding to a cyber security incident. Under the enhanced cyber security obligations of the SOCI Act, a responsible entity for a System of National Significance can be required to adopt, maintain, review, and exercise one.

A documented, activatable plan for responding to a cyber security incident: roles, escalation paths, communications, containment and recovery steps, and the criteria for declaring an incident.
