Incident Response Plan Testing Checklist

An incident response plan only works if your team can follow it under pressure. This free checklist from the Cyber Readiness Institute walks you through five practical tests: how quickly employees report a suspicious prompt or email, whether your team can reach each other if email goes down, whether staff know how to safely disconnect an infected device, how your team handles AI voice clones and realistic phishing, and an annual review of the plan itself. Each test lists what to do, what success looks like, and how often to repeat it, with space to record the date you tested it. It is part of the Cyber Readiness Program.
