Aside from the known tabletop exercises and simulations of incidents as a way of preparing for incidents, what other ways do you suggest to help organisations improve their incident response process?
Confidentiality plays a crucial role in a business continuity plan by ensuring that sensitive information is protected during a disaster or disruption. By prioritizing confidentiality in a business continuity plan, organizations can:
* Protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or disclosure
* Maintain trust with customers and stakeholders
* Comply with regulatory requirements
* Prevent reputational damage
* Ensure continuity of critical operations.
Using the nomenclature, I’ll submit that a business continuity plan is documented with activities and procedures to ensure the business (entire operations of the organisation) does not get impacted or interrupted in the event of an incident so that its services and products are not disrupted from being delivered to its customers or users while an information system contingency plan is a plan that is specific to an information system to ensure it remains functional in the event of a disruption to it.
When developing and implementing a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP), businesses should consider the following essential components:
Business Impact Analysis (BIA), Risk Assessment, Disaster Recovery Goals: Define recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) for critical systems and data.
Emergency Response Plan and Data Backup and Storage.
I believe an IDS – Intrusion DETECTION system is a detective control, it is not preventative because IDS does not perform any action, it only logs and alerts the analysts this is where an IPS- Intrusion PREVENTION comes in which would perform an action when a threat is identified.
At what phase of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) do you think it is most critical to start incorporating information system contingency planning considerations and strategies, and why?
Incorporating contingency planning during the initiation phase sets the stage for a resilient and recoverable system, reducing the risk of costly rework and ensuring that the system meets business continuity and disaster recovery requirements.

What is the difference between a business continuity plan and an information system contingency plan?

Is an IDS a preventative, detective, or restorative control?
I believe an IDS – Intrusion DETECTION system is a detective control, it is not preventative because IDS does not perform any action, it only logs and alerts the analysts this is where an IPS- Intrusion PREVENTION comes in which would perform an action when a threat is identified.
At what phase of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) do you think it is most critical to start incorporating information system contingency planning considerations and strategies, and why?
If the application being built is core to business operations then I would suggest contingency planning is infused into every phase of the SDLC.
Incorporating contingency planning during the initiation phase sets the stage for a resilient and recoverable system, reducing the risk of costly rework and ensuring that the system meets business continuity and disaster recovery requirements.
