After this lesson, you will be able to: Apply Recover: recovery planning, lessons learned, communications.
Recover is the bridge from incident back to operation, with lessons baked in. It overlaps with BCP/DRP but adds the post-incident learning loop.
Recovery Planning (RC.RP), plan documented, tested. Improvements (RC.IM), lessons captured, plan updated. Communications (RC.CO), public messaging, customer trust rebuilding.
1. Restore from clean backups (verify integrity).
2. Rebuild from gold images for compromised systems.
3. Force credential rotation (broad, assume worst).
4. Validate normal operation.
5. Public communications (apology, transparency).
6. Lessons learned + plan updates.
After breach, customer trust is the long recovery. Public transparency reports, security audits, certifications (SOC 2 Type 2) all help. Concealment usually backfires.
