When a cyberattack hits, it’s not your technology that saves you — it’s your plan. In The Brief with Charles Denyer, Episode 18: “Building a Real-World Incident Response Program for Security & Compliance,” Charles takes listeners inside the chaos of a real breach to reveal how organizations can transform panic into precision.
From the first 30 minutes of a security incident to the final audit report, this episode breaks down the anatomy of a world-class response program — how to identify, contain, eradicate, and recover from an attack with speed and structure. You’ll learn how frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC, and PCI DSS shape the expectations for readiness, and why documentation and leadership are just as critical as detection tools.
Drawing from decades of consulting experience, Charles exposes the gap between theory and reality — where most “plans” collapse under pressure and where real resilience begins.
Whether you’re a CISO, IT director, or compliance leader, this episode will give you the roadmap to build, test, and prove that your organization can withstand the inevitable.
Because in cybersecurity, it’s not if you’ll be tested — it’s how ready you’ll be when the call comes in.
