# Product: Incident Response Plan Template — SMB Ready

**When a breach happens, you won't have time to write a plan.**

67% of SMBs don't have an incident response plan. The ones that do recover 3x faster and at half the cost. This isn't a theoretical framework — it's a fill-in-the-blanks, ready-to-deploy IR plan built for small and medium businesses.

**What's inside:**

📄 **Complete IR Plan Template (PDF)**
• Pre-written incident response plan — just customize for your organization
• 7 response phases with detailed procedures
• Role assignments and contact templates
• Communication templates (internal + external + legal)
• 6 incident-specific playbooks included
• Post-incident review framework

📊 **IR Toolkit (Excel)**
• Incident tracking & classification worksheet
• Contact list template (internal + external)
• Evidence collection checklist
• Timeline reconstruction template
• Post-incident review scorecard

**7 Response Phases:**
1. Preparation — readiness assessment + team structure
2. Identification — detection, classification, severity assessment
3. Containment — immediate + long-term containment strategies
4. Eradication — root cause removal procedures
5. Recovery — system restoration + validation
6. Post-Incident — lessons learned + plan updates
7. Communication — stakeholder notification procedures

**6 Incident Playbooks:**
🔴 Ransomware Attack
🟠 Data Breach / Data Exfiltration

**Who it's for:**

• Compliance officers preparing for audits (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIS2)

**What this replaces:**
An IR consultant charges $10,000-$25,000 to build a custom plan. This template gives you 90% of that for a fraction of the cost. Customize it in 2-4 hours.
