field resources

Useful starting points for leaders, operators, and technical owners.

These resources are written as practical web checklists so the site remains self-contained and easy to edit.

72-hour incident readiness

Confirm decision owners, legal contacts, cyber insurance contacts, critical systems, privileged accounts, backup status, and communication channels before a crisis.

Cyber audit preparation

Gather policies, asset lists, user access exports, backup evidence, vendor lists, incident logs, training records, cloud controls, and recent remediation proof.

Board cyber questions

Ask what systems matter most, what would stop revenue, where privileged access lives, how recovery is tested, and which cyber risks need funded decisions.

Security training calendar

Run quarterly staff refreshers, role-specific training for finance/admin/developers, and at least one executive tabletop exercise per year.

First questions during a suspected compromise

  1. What changed and when was it first noticed?
  2. Which accounts, devices, systems, or vendors are involved?
  3. Is the attacker still active or has access been contained?
  4. What evidence must be preserved before systems are rebuilt?
  5. Who must decide, notify, approve spend, or speak externally?
