Cyber Incident Management for Ontario Municipalities (CIMOM)

No network or device can be impervious to attack, but the best protection stems from an intelligent approach to implementing a comprehensive, multi-stage approach to the Incident Response Lifecyle, that will ensure the fastest and most effective detection and remediation of any security incident.

This program has been designed to fit a variety of budgets. The core of the program is access to quick, effective, and orderly response to cyber security incidents which will completely assess, identify, contain, eradicate, and provide lessons learned to those who engage in the program. 

Program Benefits

  • Customized Response: rapid customized response to a security incident
  • Dedicated Incident Response Team: focused on helping municipalities prepare for and respond to a security incident
  • Defined Service Level Objectives

Program Information

Three levels to choose from:

  • Level 1 offers 20 hours
  • Level 2 offers 50 hours
  • Level 3 offers 80 hours

Hours are purchased for a calendar year, to be used in the event of a cyber incident.

  • During the Retainer term, the Municipality may utilize any unused retainer hours for IR specific Project Based services, as noted below:
    • Creation of Incident Response Plan & Incident Response Policy
    • Tabletop Exercises
    • Playbook Development 
  • If the program is renewed for year 2, the unused hours from year 1 can be used in the first 6 months of year 2 for cyber security work.
  • For those municipalities looking for access to cyber security work without a retainer, the program has secured an hourly rate for additional services. ISA and LAS will work with interested clients to determine the best way to secure the hours (ie. Group buying).
