Incident Response
Incident response is the process of identifying and correcting data-related incidents that threaten or interrupt a business’s operations or impact its stakeholders.
Data-related incidents can range from data security breaches that impact personal data to data quality problems that cause embarrassment, loss, or even physical harm.
When faced with a data-related incident, it’s important to respond effectively so that the issue can be resolved in the correct way and impacts mitigated as much as possible.

Review and Reflect
A critical step in any organisation’s incident response process needs to be a review and reflection on the incident to identify critical lessons learned.
It is essential that this review is objective and evidence-based. It’s also important that the review examines not just the root cause of the incident itself but the effectiveness of the response and lessons that can be learned.
Castlebridge can support organisations by providing an objective and independent review of incidents and responses to help identify critical opportunities for improvement.
