                     Applying Analytics and Data to Improve 
Cybersecurity Planning for 2023
 In this ever-connected world, protection of data holds very crucial –
irrespective of the size or nature of the organization, be it a small business, a 
corporate giant, a government institution, or a healthcare facility. Within the 
digital realm, where any sensitive data or confidential information, including 
personal or corporate data are regularly accessed and stored – the stakes are 
higher than ever. These critical pieces of information are not only invaluable 
but often irreplaceable if lost, and the ramification of falling into wrong hands 
can be nothing short of catastrophic that can extend far beyond financial loss, 
encompassing damage to any business’ reputation and the erosion of customer 
trust. Hence, cybersecurity planning is not merely a choice but a commitment 
to ensuring the safety and confidentiality of the information entrusted to you. 
                            Creating a Response Policy for Data 
Breach
Through this article, we will delve deeper into critical aspects of creating a 
response policy for data breach that will shed light on important steps and 
strategies that essential for seamless cybersecurity planning, defense and 
response for any event of data breach.
                  The types of data are contained in a data 
incident?
 In order to initiate cybersecurity planning or any data breach response plan, 
it is essential to understand the types of data that can be implicated. This 
can be categorized in two broad categories: personal data and corporate 
data. Personal data contains highly sensitive information such as social 
security numbers, bank account numbers, healthcare records – the exposure 
of such data can have a severe impact on an individual ranging from identity 
theft to financial harm to healthcare privacy violation.  Whereas on the 
corporate front, the stakes are equally high as it includes customer data 
records, intellectual property, financial and other proprietary information. A 
breach involving such data can not only lead to financial loses but can also 
damage organization’s reputation and legal liabilities. Therefore, depending 
on the type of data – one must notify customers and take appropriate 
measures as part of their response plan.  
1.Legal Responsibility: The legal team within the organization plays a pivotal 
role in assessing the legal implications of the breach. They need to determine if 
any laws or regulations have been violated, particularly in cases where 
customers' protected information was involved. They are also responsible for 
guiding the organization on compliance with data protection and privacy laws
2.Technical Responsibility: The technical team is tasked with stopping the 
breach and remediating any damage caused. They are on the front lines, 
working to identify and address the vulnerabilities that led to the breach. This 
includes taking immediate steps to contain the breach, forensics to understand 
what happened, and implementing security measures to prevent further 
breaches.
3. Communication and Public Relations Responsibility: Communicating about 
the breach is critical, both internally and externally. The communication team 
and public relations experts are responsible for crafting messages, managing 
crisis communication, and ensuring that accurate and timely information is 
disseminated to the affected parties, employees, and the public.
