Permanent contact · Triage · Escalation

A permanent contact requires procedures, availability and coordination.

PCPaaS supports operation of the Permanent Point of Contact through reception, triage, contact activation and escalation according to the agreed scope and procedures.

Permanent point of contact receiving, triaging and routing cybersecurity communications

The problem

A critical communication cannot depend on an unattended mailbox.

Alerts, notifications and incidents require up-to-date contacts, triage criteria, escalation and records. Without a prepared capability, time is lost precisely when coordination is most necessary.

What we structure

An approach connected to the organization's reality.

01

Reception and triage

Receive relevant communications, validate essential information and apply an initial operational classification.

02

Activation and escalation

Activate defined contacts and route the event to the appropriate technical, institutional or executive level.

03

Records and evidence

Maintain a history of communications, decisions, timings and elements needed for follow-up and reporting.

04

Operational coordination

Connect the point of contact to internal plans, the CSIRT, continuity and competent authorities where applicable.

Method

From context to ongoing support.

The specific scope is adjusted to the organization's size, maturity, risk and internal capability.

  1. 01Define scope, availability and contacts
  2. 02Establish reception and triage criteria
  3. 03Prepare activation and escalation
  4. 04Record and follow communications
  5. 05Test, review and improve the procedure

Expected outcomes

What should improve after the intervention.

  • Clearly identified entry point
  • Prepared contacts and escalation
  • Traceable communications and decisions
  • Better coordination during events and incidents

Clear boundaries

What the intervention neither assumes nor transfers.

  • PCPaaS does not transfer the entity's legal responsibilities to the provider.
  • Official notifications depend on validation, authorization and information provided by the entity.
  • Hours, channels, response times and escalation are expressly defined in scope.

Next step

Do you need to establish a Permanent Point of Contact?

We begin with existing contacts, hours, procedures, escalation criteria and coordination arrangements.
