FAQs

What's included in an incident response plan for a cyberattack?

An incident response plan defines how an organization prepares for, detects, and recovers from a cyberattack, typically covering risk assessment, response playbooks, business continuity, legal and regulatory alignment, and stakeholder communication. LevelBlue builds these plans around each organization's environment, combining frontline threat intelligence with expert guidance so every stakeholder understands their role. Services include risk assessment and gap analysis, tailored playbooks and exercises, business continuity planning, legal and compliance alignment, communication plans, and integrated retainer credits for ongoing readiness.

What attack scenarios should a tabletop exercise cover?

A strong tabletop exercise tests an organization's response across the attack scenarios it's most likely to face, rather than a single hypothetical. LevelBlue's tabletop exercises are built around today's most common scenarios: ransomware, practicing detection, containment, negotiation, and recovery; data breaches, improving regulatory response; business email compromise, reducing financial risk; insider threats; supply chain attacks, coordinating vendor response; and nation-state simulations preparing organizations for advanced, persistent threats to critical infrastructure.

Why should executives, not just technical teams, participate in tabletop exercises?

A cyberattack is a business disruption first, not just a technical one — halted revenue, contractual penalties, and reputational damage often carry more weight for leadership than the technical response itself. LevelBlue's tabletop exercises equip both technical teams and business leaders, simulating the financial and operational tradeoffs executives face under pressure so decisions around continuity, disclosure, and customer communication are tested before a real incident forces them.

What is the process for building an incident response plan for a cyberattack?

Building an effective incident response plan starts with understanding how an organization currently operates before documenting how it should respond. LevelBlue takes a data-gathering-first approach, reviewing current policies and procedures and interviewing key stakeholders, executive leadership, information security, IT, and legal, within the first week. Aligned with NIST SP 800-61, LevelBlue then develops a customized plan over four weeks, covering preparation, detection and analysis, containment, eradication and recovery, and post-incident activity.

What deliverables can I expect from an incident response plan engagement?

Organizations typically need one of two things: a new incident response plan built from scratch, or an assessment of how well an existing one holds up. LevelBlue offers both paths. Incident Response Plan Development delivers a fully customized plan built around your environment, stakeholders, and the incident response lifecycle. Incident Response Plan Review provides an improvement summary report with inline edits and annotations, helping mature current processes without starting over.
