Develop and Implement a Comprehensive Incident Response Plan

Sep 22, 2025 - Senior

$3,200.00 Fixed

Overview:

We are a mid-sized technology company that processes a significant amount of customer data. While we have basic security measures, we do not have a formal incident response plan.

The Challenge:

We lack a structured, documented incident response plan. In the event of a security breach, we would be forced to react on an ad-hoc basis, which would lead to confusion, slow response times, and a high risk of making critical mistakes.

Problems Caused:

Without a clear incident response plan, a security incident could escalate into a major crisis. Our team would be unprepared to handle the situation, which could result in data loss, regulatory non-compliance, reputational damage, and financial losses.

Proposed Method:

We need a senior security expert to design a complete, multi-phase Incident Response Plan. This plan must cover:

  • Preparation: Defining roles, responsibilities, and necessary tools.
  • Detection & Analysis: Establishing procedures for identifying and analyzing threats.
  • Containment & Eradication: Outlining steps to isolate and eliminate the threat.
  • Recovery: A step-by-step process for restoring affected systems.
  • Post-Incident Activity: A plan for a post-mortem analysis and documentation.

Required Experience:

At least 8+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with a focus on incident response and management. The freelancer must have a deep understanding of security frameworks like NIST or ISO 27001.

Required Expertise:

  • Extensive experience in developing and testing Incident Response Plans.
  • Deep knowledge of security frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001).
  • Strong understanding of threat intelligence and forensics.
  • Excellent technical writing and communication skills.

Sample Work Required:

Please provide a redacted or anonymized example of an incident response plan you have previously developed, along with a brief description of the project.

Freelancer Proposal:

The freelancer should submit a detailed proposal outlining the structure and content of the proposed Incident Response Plan, including a timeline for development and a plan for a simulated test run.
