IV. Incident Response and Reporting
Incident Response and Reporting involves identifying and containing incidents within specified timeframes, followed by thorough reporting and analysis to prevent future occurrences. This process commences with incident detection, where teams recognize potential threats or security breaches. Next, containment actions are taken to limit the impact of the incident, including isolating affected systems and notifying stakeholders as necessary. After containment, post-incident activities involve documenting events, identifying root causes, and implementing corrective measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Incident reporting provides critical information for auditing purposes, helps identify areas for security improvement, and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements. Overall, this process aims to minimize incident impact, facilitate prompt resolution, and foster a culture of security awareness within the organization.
