Protocol over Panic
Organizations must have 'Pre-Approved Response Frameworks'—templated, strategic communication assets ready for immediate deployment when an incident is triggered.
Immediate Actions
- Activate the Core Team: Clear hierarchy of decision-makers.
- Verify before Volley: Establish a 'Source of Truth' before making public statements.
- Proactive Transparency: Acknowledge the situation early, even if all details aren't known.
