Cyber crisis governance
Define executive authority, escalation thresholds, decision rights, reporting lines, and the management structure connecting technical response with business needs.
Cyber Crisis Management
A cyberattack becomes a leadership and business-continuity problem within minutes.
We prepare owners, executives, and operational teams to manage the business side of cyber disruption—before technical failure becomes organizational chaos.
How we help
Technical safeguards matter. Leadership readiness determines how the organization responds.
A cyber incident does not remain inside the IT department. It can stop operations, disrupt payroll and communications, expose sensitive information, affect customers and vendors, and place urgent decisions in front of leadership. We work alongside your IT department, technology vendors, cybersecurity providers, legal counsel, and insurer to establish a coordinated plan for maintaining critical functions and returning the business to normal operations. If an attack occurs, The DeAngelo Group helps leadership walk through the management process—from initial decisions and employee communications through continuity, partner coordination, recovery priorities, and after-action improvement—while technical specialists address the systems themselves.
Cyber incident response planning
Build practical management procedures for ransomware, phishing, account compromise, data exposure, vendor incidents, communications failures, and prolonged system outages.
Business continuity for technology loss
Identify technology dependencies, essential functions, manual workarounds, offline communications, recovery priorities, and the consequences of unavailable systems or data.
Executive decision support
Prepare leaders for urgent choices involving operations, employees, customers, regulators, legal counsel, cyber insurance, law enforcement, public messaging, and recovery.
Employee readiness
Strengthen awareness, reporting, supervisory actions, and clear employee instructions so suspicious activity is recognized early and personnel know what to do when systems cannot be trusted.
Exercises and validation
Use executive tabletops and operational exercises to test the plan, expose hidden dependencies, practice decisions, and convert lessons into accountable improvements.
Partner coordination
Align business leadership with internal IT, managed service providers, qualified cybersecurity specialists, legal counsel, insurers, communications teams, vendors, and public-safety partners.
Recovery and improvement
Organize recovery objectives, situation reporting, operational restoration, stakeholder communications, after-action review, and improvements that reduce repeat exposure.
What this creates
Readiness that shows up in the operation.
- Leaders know who has authority and what decisions must be made
- Critical operations have realistic workarounds when technology is unavailable
- Technical response and business priorities operate from one coordinated structure
- Employees receive clear, trusted instructions during uncertainty
- Communications, legal, insurance, and customer obligations are considered early
- Exercises confirm that the organization can manage the incident—not merely discuss it
