Responding to "Business Interruption Risk" from Cyberattacks: Launch of Cyber BCP Construction Support Service

The "risk of business interruption" due to cyberattacks is becoming apparent. With the sophistication of ransomware and supply chain attacks, many companies are facing the possibility of business suspension and prolonged system downtime. However, in reality, incident response functions (CSIRT) and business continuity plans (BCP) are often fragmented, and many companies lack established decision-making and recovery processes in the event of an emergency. Ideal Route Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ko Ishikawa; hereinafter IDR) has launched its "Cyber BCP Construction Support Service" in response to this situation.

Service Overview This service provides comprehensive support, from identifying critical operations and assets to establishing management procedures (protocols) and recovery plans, assuming system outages and business interruptions due to cyberattacks. By designing incident response and business continuity as an integrated process, from initial response to recovery and rollback, it enables the construction of an effective system that prevents business interruption even in an emergency. *Overall picture of Cyber BCP Click here for service details

Features 1. Specialized in "Business Interruption Risk" originating from cyberattacks While traditional BCPs primarily target physical risks such as natural disasters, this service specializes in system design based on the premise of damage to system availability due to cyberattacks. It addresses business interruption risks that CSIRT and traditional BCPs could not fully cover, supporting the creation of a system that prevents business interruption even in an emergency.

2. Practical-level system design that encompasses incident response to business continuity It integrates the design of management procedures (protocols) for initial response, provisional response, and recovery response, as well as recovery plans including rollback from alternative operations to normal operations. By not separating incident response and business continuity, it builds a highly effective Cyber BCP that functions on-site.

3. Concretization of the effective "To-Be Model" Based on the current system configuration and operational tasks, it organizes the challenges identified during the Cyber BCP construction process. Furthermore, it concretizes the "To-Be Model," including system improvements and operational task reviews, and presents it in an actionable form. By going beyond mere plan formulation to actual functional system design, it enhances the effectiveness of Cyber BCP.
