Staying informed about all of the cyber security compliance standards is essential to keeping your company safe from hackers. Read on to learn about the various steps you can take to stay up to date with your industry’s compliance standards.
In today’s hyper-connected digital landscape, cyberattacks are becoming more frequent, complex, and costly. Ransomware alone caused more than $30 billion in global losses in 2024, and according to IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach cost has risen to $4.56 million. Organizations can no longer afford a reactive approach. A Computer Security Incident Response Plan (CSIRP) provides the proactive framework needed to detect, contain, and recover from cyber incidents quickly and effectively.
For businesses working with the Department of Defense (DoD) or managing sensitive or regulated data, a CSIRP isn’t optional, it’s required for compliance with standards like CMMC 2.0, NIST SP 800-171, HIPAA, and PCI DSS v4.0.
An effective CSIRP not only reduces financial and reputational risk but also strengthens organizational resilience and supports regulatory defense in the face of evolving threats.
