Policies & Procedures

At Cyber Forte, we help businesses develop robust cybersecurity frameworks tailored to their operations, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards while strengthening overall cyber security resilience. Our structured approach provides organizations with comprehensive governance models, incident response protocols, and strategic security planning to minimize cyber risks and maintain business continuity. By integrating best practices with industry-recognized frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, IEC 62443, and NIS2, we help businesses create scalable and adaptive security policies that protect against evolving cyber threats. From proactive incident response planning to business continuity strategies, our cybersecurity policies and procedures form the foundation of a secure and well-governed enterprise.

Business Continuity Plan (BCP)

In an era where cyberattacks, ransomware incidents, and operational disruptions are on the rise, having a business continuity plan is essential for ensuring operational resilience. Our business continuity planning services help organizations identify critical assets, define recovery priorities, and establish protocols for restoring operations in the event of a cyber incident. We assess potential risks to IT and OT systems, supply chains, and data infrastructure to develop a structured, actionable response framework. Our approach includes disaster recovery strategies, failover mechanisms, and real-time backup solutions to minimize downtime and prevent financial losses. A well-defined business continuity plan not only mitigates the impact of cyber disruptions but also ensures regulatory compliance with industry standards, helping businesses recover quickly while maintaining stakeholder trust.

Cybersecurity Strategy & Roadmap

A strong cybersecurity strategy is the backbone of an organization’s ability to detect, prevent, respond and recover from cyber threats. Cyber Forte works with businesses to define a clear security vision that aligns with their risk appetite, industry requirements, and long-term goals. Our cybersecurity roadmaps outline step-by-step execution plans that cover areas such as risk mitigation, security architecture development, compliance initiatives, and emerging threat defences. We assess the organization’s current security maturity, identify gaps, and provide a phased implementation plan that enhances security capabilities over time. Whether securing IT environments, industrial control systems, or cloud infrastructures, our cybersecurity strategy services ensure that organizations remain proactive, compliant, and resilient in the face of evolving cyber risks.

Cybersecurity Management Plan

“Plan to Fail or Fail to Plan !” – Unknown

Managing cybersecurity effectively requires structured governance, roles and responsibilities, and continuous evaluation of threats and vulnerabilities and monitoring of security controls. A well drafted cybersecurity management plan provides businesses with a foundation for kickstarting a Cybersecurity Journey, that helps to build resilience and reduce attack surface. This plan includes Cyber Risk Assessment methodologies, Security awareness programs, Access Control policies, and threat detection mechanisms that ensure the organization is well-prepared against cyber threats. We also help businesses establish security leadership roles, such as Chief Information Security Officers, Security Operations Centre teams, and incident response teams, to create a centralized and well-coordinated security governance model. With a strong management plan in place, businesses can streamline security processes, reduce vulnerabilities, and strengthen their overall cybersecurity posture.

Incident Response Plans

Cyber incidents can have severe financial, operational, and reputational consequences, making incident response planning a critical aspect of cybersecurity governance. Our incident response plans provide clear guidelines and structured workflows for detecting, responding to, and mitigating cyber threats. We develop customized response frameworks that align with NIST, ISO 27035, and IEC 62443 standards, ensuring organizations can react swiftly and effectively to security breaches. Our plans cover threat identification, containment strategies, forensic analysis, recovery procedures, and post-incident reporting to help businesses reduce downtime and minimize data loss. Through regular incident response drills and testing, we ensure that organizations are well-prepared to handle cybersecurity incidents in real time, reducing the risk of prolonged disruptions.

Our experts come from Industrial backgrounds with well-rounded experience in Automation, Control Systems and SCADA systems. Leveraging this expertise, enables us to have meaningful discussion with our customer’s OT Team and IT Teams to provide practical Incident Response Planning.

Playbooks & Tabletop Exercises

Proactive cybersecurity training is essential for ensuring that security teams, IT administrators, and executives are prepared for real-world cyberattacks. Cyber Forte develops customized incident response playbooks and conducts tabletop exercises to test an organization’s preparedness in handling cyber threats. These simulations allow teams to practice response strategies in controlled environments, helping them refine their decision-making processes and coordination efforts. Our playbooks provide step-by-step guidance for responding to various cyber incidents, such as ransomware attacks, malware attacks, data breaches, phishing campaigns, and denial of service attacks. Through realistic tabletop exercises, businesses can identify gaps in their response mechanisms, improve communication between security teams, IT and leadership, and build confidence in handling cybersecurity crises effectively. These exercises also align with compliance mandates, ensuring organizations meet the requirements of ISO 27001, NIS2, and other regulatory frameworks.

Vendor Management Plans

Complex Critical National Infrastructure sectors have tailored control systems and OT Networks provided by host of vendors and suppliers. It is important that cybersecurity is managed, defined and streamlined for delivery, compliant to customer standards and regulatory requirements. CyberForte is well positioned to develop Vendor Management Plans for projects, and when new vendors are onboarded to supply a critical system that is integrated into an existing OT Network.

The vendor management plan defines the deliverables, FAT Schedules, roles and responsibilities and communication lines between client and vendor organizations. A Vendor Management Plan is an essential document that defines the framework for managing sub-contractors, suppliers and system integrators.
