Incident Response Policy

1. Purpose and Scope

This Incident Response Plan (IRP) outlines the procedures Lowmips.com, LLC follows to detect, respond to, and recover from information security incidents. The goal is to minimize impact, ensure regulatory compliance, and restore services efficiently. This policy applies to all systems, networks, data, and personnel employed by or contracted by the company.

2. Incident Response Phases

Our methodology follows the industry-standard lifecycle (NIST 800-61):

• Phase 1: Preparation
  Maintaining readiness through staff training, tool deployment (EDR/logs), and regular review of this policy.
• Phase 2: Identification & Analysis
  Monitoring systems for anomalies. Upon detection, the incident is validated, and the severity level (Low, Medium, High, Critical) is determined.
• Phase 3: Containment
  Immediate isolation of affected systems to prevent the spread of the threat. This may involve network disconnection, account suspension, or temporary service shutdowns.
• Phase 4: Eradication
  Removal of the root cause (e.g., deleting malware, patching vulnerabilities, resetting compromised credentials).
• Phase 5: Recovery
  Restoring systems to normal operation from clean backups. Systems are monitored closely for signs of reinfection.
• Phase 6: Post-Incident Activity
  A "Lessons Learned" meeting is conducted to analyze the incident and update policies to prevent recurrence.
