ATLANTA - TelAve -- Nearly 70% of nonprofits lack a documented incident response plan, according to research from NTEN and Microsoft cited by WIRED. For most small organizations, the reason isn't a lack of awareness. It's cost. Nonprofits face the same cyberattack risk as any other organization, but a consultant-facilitated tabletop exercise can cost $5,000 to $35,000, putting real incident response planning out of reach for organizations already stretched thin.

IRPForge was built to close that gap. The platform walks users through a guided intake form covering their organization, their people, their technology and data, and their response framework. No security background is required. Based on the answers provided, IRPForge generates a complete, branded package: a full incident response plan, an incident report form for use during a live incident, and a one-page emergency contact reference.

The plans are built on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and CIS Controls v8, the same standards enterprise consultants use, applied through a static template system rather than a generic fill-in-the-blank document.

According to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report, organizations with a tested incident response plan save an average of $1.23 million compared to those without one. For nonprofits and small businesses operating on limited budgets, having a plan in place before an incident happens can be the difference between a manageable disruption and a lasting one.

IRPForge is available now at a one-time cost of $199 for the Starter plan, delivered as a downloadable PDF package. More information is available at
