YOUR CYBER IR PLAN

READY. ACTIONABLE. COMPLIMENTARY.

Most businesses have no tested incident response plan—yet regulators, insurers, and customers are increasingly requiring one. Breach Plan Connect® gives you an expert-built, compliance-ready, actionable plan you can execute in minutes, at no additional cost.

The BPC Difference: From Plan to Actionable Tool

A LIVING, ACTIONABLE PLAYBOOK — NOT JUST A DOCUMENT

BPC turns an incident response plan into a dynamic tool you can actually use—because breaches don’t wait for someone to dig up a word doc. When pressure is high and minutes matter, your team has clear direction, defined ownership, and a response that moves forward instead of stalling.

Clear workflows, defined roles, and real-time execution help minimize impact, reduce downtime, and maintain control in chaotic moments.

   

Pre-populated vendor contacts: Direct access to The Hartford–approved incident response vendors, pre-loaded and ready to engage 24/7 for rapid containment, investigation, and recovery support.

   

Out-of-band access: Securely access your incident response plan even if your network or email systems are compromised. Ensures uninterrupted availability during ransomware or other cyber events.

   

Insurance aligned: Built-in claims notification guidance aligned with The Hartford’s requirements, helping policyholders take the right steps early and streamline the claims process.
