Cybersecurity and Response Planningintermediate
Arrange the incident response planning activities in the correct chronological sequence, from initial assessment to operational procedures.
Answer
Identify valuable information and systems, Assess likely incident types and risks, Establish policy, roles, and responsibilities, Set communication and notification procedures
Explanation
### The order
1. **Identify valuable information and systems**: The organization first determines what it needs to protect.
2. **Assess likely incident types and risks**: Once assets are understood, the organization can consider threats, likelihood, and impact.
3. **Establish policy, roles, and responsibilities**: Governance defines authority and assigns response duties.
4. **Set communication and notification procedures**: The plan then specifies how responders and stakeholders will communicate.
### The concept
These activities are related planning decisions, not a rigid universal workflow. The sequence reflects the logic in the material: understand organizational value and possible incidents, use that understanding to shape response governance, then specify how information will move during response. Communication arrangements should identify a central employee reporting point and the internal or external stakeholders who may need notification.
### Terms
- **Stakeholder**: A person or organization with an interest in, or affected by, the incident or response.
- **Notification procedure**: A planned method for deciding who is informed and how.
### Remember
Understand what is at risk before assigning response authority and communication duties.
