Converged Security Framework - Incident Response and Business Continuity Playbook
Authors/Creators
Description
Incident Response and Business Continuity Playbook. Board-approved guideline, v1.0. Not a peer-reviewed Journal article.
The IRBC standard requires the ability to detect, respond to and recover from incidents - cyber, physical and converged - and to keep the business running through disruption, within the standard's recovery time and recovery point tiers. The parent procedure fixes the plan structures, test cycles and clocks. This playbook shows how to build response and continuity capability that works on the worst day, with step-by-step guidance, worked examples, checklists and the records to keep.
The worked examples use the fictional **Meridian Logistics Ltd** (120 staff, head office, two warehouses, fleet operation).
Issued by Global Converged Security Board. The adopting organisation is responsible for implementation; publication does not itself confer accreditation or a credential.
