What is a key component of the IRP (Incident Response Plan) preparation phase?

  1. Developing a malware detection system

  2. Establishing a communication plan to stakeholders

  3. Assessing physical location risks

  4. Upgrading hardware components

The correct answer is: Establishing a communication plan to stakeholders

Establishing a communication plan to stakeholders is a vital component of the Incident Response Plan (IRP) preparation phase. This plan outlines how information will be shared internally and externally during an incident, ensuring that all relevant parties are informed and coordinated in their response efforts. Effective communication is crucial for minimizing confusion, preventing misinformation, and ensuring that everyone involved understands their roles and responsibilities during an incident. When stakeholders, including management, IT staff, and external parties such as law enforcement or media, are kept informed, it helps to streamline the incident management process and can significantly impact the overall effectiveness of the response. Clear communication can also help maintain stakeholder confidence and manage reputational risk during an incident. While developing a malware detection system, assessing physical location risks, and upgrading hardware components are important aspects of a broader cybersecurity strategy, they do not specifically address the immediate need for clear communication and coordination during an incident. These other elements may play a role in incident prevention or mitigation, but effective communication is essential during the actual incident response.
