Abstract

This paper provides an overview and executive summary of the Cyber Incident Response Framework (CIRF) and supporting materials; it is a ‘start here’ guide. The CIAF can be adapted to different types of organisation. It contains information on specific public sector/UK Government aspects relating to the Civil Contingencies Act and local resilience forums (LRF); again, these aspects can be adapted for organisations not covered by those legal and regulatory requirements.1 All UK organisations are covered by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) remit; however, its intervention outside of the government/public sector would only be in time of national emergency. Other cyber incidents and cybercrime are covered by action fraud and local policing supported by the Regional Organised and Cyber Crime Units (ROCCU).
