Retirement plans contain sensitive—and valuable information. In addition to securing it, you must be ready to respond to breaches. Who are the experts on your team?
What’s On Your Company’s Inventory of Sensitive Data?
When your company assesses security risks in this era of rising cybercrimes, don’t forget your benefit plans! With so much on our minds, it is easy to lose sight of the obvious: retirement plans are full of personal information and access to money—two things cybercriminals find worthwhile to go after.
In addition to protecting data, experts advise proactively putting a response team in place, so that you can quickly and effectively respond to a breach. Risk & Compliance offers this guidance about the depth of expertise needed on a response team:
A company must prepare for an emergency. Even with best in class defense measures, it must expect a successful cyber attack.
Once under attack, the company’s incident response team must act immediately. This team should include representatives from IT, legal & compliance, HR, communications and the business unit affected by the attack, as well as senior management. It should also include external experts, including cyber forensic experts and lawyers.
The team must initially assess the severity and impact of the cyber incident and take immediate action to minimize damage from a technical as well as reputational perspective. Business continuity must be ensured on short notice.
