CRC-Oyster, a full-service consulting firm providing compliance, risk, operational, and technology advisory services for the financial services industry, has launched a new cyber incident response planning service offering in collaboration with NetDiligence® and its Breach Plan Connect® (BPC) platform.
The offering is designed to help organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents with greater speed, coordination, and control. Built for today’s remote and hybrid operating environments, the service helps clients replace static incident response plans with practical, business-specific plans that are accessible, actionable, and regularly tested.
Remote and distributed workforces have created new operational and cyber risk challenges for organizations, including unmanaged devices accessing company systems, limited visibility into remote endpoints, exposure to phishing attacks, malware and ransomware infections, social engineering tactics, data privacy and security lapses, and gaps in training that can lead to misuse of sensitive information. CRC-Oyster’s new offering helps organizations address these risks through a structured approach to incident readiness, response planning, technology integration, and tabletop exercises. The BPC platform replaces outdated PDF response plans with a living, cloud-hosted system designed to support coordination, communication, and control when it matters most.
“Cyber incidents do not wait for perfect conditions, and for many organizations the first challenge is simply knowing who needs to act, how they should communicate, and where the plan lives when systems are under stress,” said Mitch Avnet, CEO and Managing Partner of CRC-Oyster. “By combining CRC-Oyster’s advisory experience with NetDiligence’s Breach Plan Connect platform, we are helping clients move from static planning to practical readiness so they can respond with greater speed, coordination, and confidence.”
Through the offering, CRC-Oyster works with clients to develop incident response plans that are practical, concise, adaptable to different types of cyber events, and updated on a regular basis. Plans are designed to identify incident response leaders, internal stakeholders, external partners, escalation procedures, response team roles and responsibilities, and key contact information that may be needed if internal systems are unavailable.
The service also supports organizations through remote tabletop exercises that use current cyber threat trends and organization-specific risk scenarios to test whether response plans are flexible enough to work during real-world incidents. CRC-Oyster’s team helps clients train staff to detect and report suspicious activity, prepare operational teams to monitor system usage, and create clear response procedures for common cyber threats such as ransomware, business email compromise, and data exposure or loss. BPC can also assist a client with their cyber insurance coverage renewal underwriting requirements, as many leading global insurers now recommend the solution to their insureds.
“Organizations need incident response plans that are usable in the middle of a crisis, not just available during an audit,” said Mark Greisiger, President of NetDiligence. “Breach Plan Connect was built to give response teams immediate access to the information and playbooks they need, even when normal systems may be unavailable. Working with CRC-Oyster brings that technology together with experienced advisory support to help organizations strengthen resilience before an event occurs.”
The new offering reflects CRC-Oyster’s continued investment in practical cyber risk advisory services that combine senior-level expertise with execution support. Following the integration of legacy CRC and Oyster capabilities, CRC-Oyster continues to advise clients across complex business, regulatory, operational, and technology challenges. The BPC offering brings together CRC-Oyster’s experience in cyber risk, compliance, operations, and incident response with a technology platform designed to keep plans current, accessible, and actionable when organizations need them most.
