Topic #: 6
[All CISM Questions]

While responding to a high-profile security incident, an information security manager observed several deficiencies in the current incident response plan. When would be the BEST time to update the plan?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

During post-incident review is the best time to update the incident response plan after observing several deficiencies in the current plan while responding to a high-profile security incident. A post-incident review is a process of analyzing and evaluating the incident response activities, identifying the lessons learned, and documenting the recommendations and action items for improvement. Updating the incident response plan during post-incident review helps to ensure that the plan reflects the current best practices, addresses the gaps and weaknesses, and incorporates the feedback and suggestions from the incident response team and other stakeholders. Therefore, during post-incident review is the correct answer.

A - During the incident, of course! Multitasking at its finest. You can update the plan while also putting out fires. What could go wrong?

B! Tabletop exercises are the ideal time to test the plan and find those weaknesses. Plus, it's a lot less stressful than a real incident.

I'd have to go with D. Doing a full risk reassessment first will help ensure the updated plan covers all the bases. No point in rushing it.

I believe updating the plan after a risk reassessment would also be beneficial to ensure it aligns with the current threat landscape.

Definitely C. Trying to fix the plan while dealing with a crisis is just asking for trouble. Post-incident review is the perfect time to make those improvements.
