Consulting

SIRT members are available for consultation about a range of security issues, including compliance assistance with the new Data Stewardship Policy that went into effect January 1st, 2009.

Incident Response

SIRT maintains a group of technical personnel trained in incident response methodologies. They can verify that an incident has occurred, contain the incident and acquire evidence using industry-standard practices. Upon completion of these steps, SIRT can assist in the eradication of the root cause and provide guidance on system recovery. Evidence is turned over to IT personnel trained in forensic analysis. Depending on the nature of the evidence, it may further be turned over to law enforcement.
