Communication Plan
A Communication Plan outlines who will share information, what messages will be conveyed, through which channels, and to whom during a cybersecurity incident or crisis. Its purpose is to ensure timely, accurate, and consistent information flow to relevant parties.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
An Incident Communication Plan (ICP) is a critical component of cyber incident response and crisis management, detailing structured protocols for internal and external information dissemination to designated stakeholders during a security breach. It defines key messaging, approval workflows, communication channels, and target audiences to maintain transparency and control narratives.
BACKGROUND
Computer security is a subdiscipline within the field of information security. It focuses on protecting computer software, systems, and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft, or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as to the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
