Details

Reconnection is the process of restoring technical access and integration to an organisation that has been technically quarantined after suffering a material cyber incident. This includes a phased resumption of business operations, beginning with the technical reconnection of stakeholders and entities to the organisation. This is a supplementary annex to G7 CEG Reconnection Framework Best Practice (2025). Like the main paper, this annex does not set guidance or regulatory expectations. Its aim is to identify effective practices and approaches that jurisdictions and their institutions may utilize to implement reconnection frameworks in the event of a cyber incident and explores the preliminary considerations and technical processes that may support compromised organisations in their reconnection efforts following a cyber incident. The document also introduces the concept of disconnection.
