Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my business need an incident response plan?

An IRP ensures your team knows exactly what to do during a security incident, minimizing damage, preserving evidence, and meeting regulatory notification deadlines. Most compliance frameworks require one.

How often should we test our incident response plan?

At minimum, annually through tabletop exercises. PTG recommends quarterly reviews and semi-annual simulations to keep your team prepared for real-world scenarios.

Can PTG help develop a custom IRP?

Yes. PTG provides incident response planning, tabletop exercises, and full incident simulations. We also offer digital forensics and incident response services when incidents occur.
