Week 5: Incident Response Reflection Shay South CMGT/245: Is Security Concepts Beth Cohen 01/02/2024 When assessing the impact of a governance, risk, and compliance policy on an incident response IR plan, one applicable policy to consider is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR is a European Union regulation that aims to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens. It has a significant impact on how organizations handle and protect sensitive data. Here's an overview of how GDPR can impact an IR plan: 1. Data Handling: GDPR imposes strict requirements for handling and processing personal data, including the need to obtain explicit consent, securely storing data, and ensuring its confidentiality. An IR plan needs to align with GDPR guidelines to
ensure that personal data is handled appropriately during incident response activities. 2. Breach Notification: GDPR mandates that organizations promptly notify the relevant supervisory authority and affected individuals in the event of a personal data breach. An effective IR plan should outline clear procedures for incident reporting, escalation, and communication to comply with GDPR's breach notification requirements. 3. Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs): GDPR requires organizations to conduct DPIAs for high-risk processing activities that involve personal data. These assessments help identify and minimize potential privacy risks. An IR plan should incorporate procedures to perform DPIAs when necessary and ensure that incidents are assessed for their impact on data protection. Regarding the handling of data by industry or organization size, there may be some differences. For example, organizations in the healthcare industry may also need to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which has specific requirements for protecting patient data. Similarly, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) applies to organizations that handle payment card information. These additional regulations may require industry- specific considerations and impact how data is handled during incident response.
