Incident Response Card Generator

When something goes wrong, nobody reads a 40-page plan. Make a one-page poster or a wallet card that tells your team exactly what to do in the first five minutes — and what not to do.

1. Who to call

Leave anything blank and it prints as a line to fill in by hand.

2. Format

Include on the poster
"Do not" list
72-hour data breach warning
National reporting numbers
Insurer details
Scenario quick reference
Suspicious email
Ransomware
Lost or stolen device
Account compromised
Data sent to the wrong person
Systems down

3. Your card

Print at 100% — do not use "fit to page", or wallet cards come out the wrong size.

The card is the easy part

Hamilton Group answers the phone when that number gets dialled — 24/7 incident response, containment and recovery for businesses across Yorkshire. Make sure the number on your card reaches someone who can actually help.

A quick-reference aid, not a substitute for an incident response plan. The advice here is general UK good practice — check it against your own cyber insurance policy conditions, which often specify who you must call first and can restrict cover if you engage third parties before notifying them.
