Phishing and Incident Response Programme
Develop staff resilience and clear protocols to handle phishing attacks and security incidents effectively.

Phishing and Incident Response Programme

This programme targets small businesses where employee awareness and a lack of formal incident plans create significant exposure. We focus on two high-risk areas: phishing susceptibility and the chaos that follows a real breach. The engagement begins with a simulated phishing campaign tailored to your industry, such as fake invoice emails for a construction firm. Results are anonymised and used in a confidential briefing to show your team exactly how vulnerabilities manifest. From there, we co-develop a custom incident response playbook that defines roles, communication channels, and legal considerations under Irish law. For a clinic handling patient data, this meant clarifying steps for notifying the Data Protection Commission and managing reputational risk. Training sessions are conducted in small groups, mixing short e-learning modules with live Q&A to reinforce practical habits. The programme includes a 90-day post-launch support window where we review your first incident drill and refine the playbook based on performance. You leave with tested procedures, measurable improvements in staff vigilance, and a governance framework that demonstrates due diligence to stakeholders.

Assessment Method

We start with a baseline phishing simulation to gauge current staff awareness, followed by interviews with key personnel to map your existing escalation paths. This evidence-based approach ensures the programme addresses your specific operational context and risk tolerance.

Client Fit and Use Cases

This is a strong fit for businesses with distributed teams or those processing payments and personal data, where a single phishing click could trigger significant financial or regulatory consequences. It’s particularly valuable for companies preparing for growth or seeking to demonstrate cyber resilience to partners.
