Why It Matters

The plan matters more than the attack.

Most businesses don’t fail because they were attacked, they fail because no one knew what to do next. A documented incident response plan is the difference between a contained problem and a chaotic one.

Written specifically for Australian small and medium businesses, this template gives you a clear, practical starting point, ready to adapt to how your business actually runs.
