8 Emergency Steps We Recommend You Take Right Now
1. Assemble your crisis-management team - or your executive management
team - to ensure that all mission-critical decision-makers are available
and, if possible, together.
2. Take all necessary steps to ensure the health and safety of all
personnel.
3. Conduct a first-line risk analysis: ensure that your critical data
is stored safely and is available offsite; and determine how your business
operations (including networks and data centers) will be affected by the
event (e.g., closing of governments and financial markets).
4. Determine what methods of communication are available and establish
key communications.
5. Protect your mission-critical processes.
6. Make a public and regularly updated declaration of the steps you
are taking to deal with the crisis.
7. Implement your cyber incident response (CIRT) plan (if you have
one). If you do not have a CIRT plan, block all external Internet access
until you have determined that a wave of cyberterrorism attacks is not
about to follow.
8. Ensure that all employees know your company's evacuation procedures
and update their emergency contact information with the human resources
department.
