Having an Incident Response Plan isn't a suggestion, it is a requirement. Security breaches are inevitable, does your Plan provide a framework to guide you in responding effectively and timely?

It isn’t a matter of “if” but “when” when it comes to a breach that exposes confidential customer or corporate information. Any breach regardless of the type or size can be potentially devastating. Financial losses are not the only concern, what about your reputation? Financial institutions are particularly vulnerable by the very nature of the business. You have information that thieves want, information they can parley into cold hard cash, if not the cash itself. Your incident response plan should provide confidence that you have the right personnel and procedures in place to deal effectively and timely to a security breach.

And if that it isn't enough, the financial services industry is mandated to implement security controls and a framework for identifying potential risks, monitoring for and detecting unauthorized access, mitigating the outcome, effectively responding to the event, and notifying customers, law enforcement, and regulators when it does happen. Be sure that examiners will be looking for your plan.

The Incident Response Plan shouldn't be a just a checklist. You need well thought out detailed procedures/response steps that have been practiced and tested to ensure you are as prepared as you can be when a security breach happens.
