Incident Response Planning
When a cyber incident hits, the first 30 minutes are critical. Without a plan, schools improvise, and that's where costly mistakes happen. We build a school-specific playbook that gives your team a clear path from detection to recovery.
What's in Your Playbook
Your incident response playbook covers every stage of a cyber incident, from the moment something is detected to full recovery and post-incident review. It's written for your school's actual team structure, not a hypothetical IT department.
- Detection and triage: how to assess what's happened and how serious it is
- Containment: immediate steps to stop the spread
- Communication: who to notify, when, and what to say
- Recovery: how to restore systems and resume normal operations
Legal and Regulatory Obligations
Singapore schools have mandatory notification obligations under the PDPA when a data breach occurs. Your playbook includes a clear decision tree for whether notification is required, who to notify, and the timeframes involved, so you are never guessing under pressure.
- Decision tree for assessing notifiable data breach threshold
- Notification templates for the PDPC, affected individuals, and parents
- Timeframe guidance aligned to the PDPA notification clock
- Documentation trail to demonstrate compliance
Testing and Annual Review
A plan that's never been tested is just a document. We run annual tabletop exercises with your leadership team, walking through a realistic scenario to find gaps before an actual incident does. We also review and update the plan each year as your systems and staff change.
- Annual tabletop exercise with your school's leadership team
- Scenario-based walkthrough of a realistic cyber incident
- Identifies gaps and updates the playbook accordingly
- Completion certificate suitable for insurance or governance purposes
