Overview: Cyber Crisis Management Plan

A Cyber Crisis Management Plan (CCMP) is a strategic framework that helps organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents, such as data breaches, unauthorized access, etc. It defines clear roles, responsibilities, and step-by-step actions to contain threats, minimize damage, and restore normal operations swiftly. Cyber risk management ensures that disruptions to critical systems are brief, infrequent, and manageable, safeguarding business continuity and minimizing financial and reputational loss. Establishing strong coordination and accountability enables quick decision-making and effective crisis communication across all levels. More than a response guide, a CCMP is a resilience-building tool that helps organizations transform unexpected cyber threats into controlled, well-managed events.
