Security incident response policy​

The purpose of this policy is to provide a structured approach for detecting, reporting, assessing, and responding to security incidents in order to minimize the impact of incidents on the businesses' operations, reputation, and assets.

Incident severity scales​

  • Level 1 (Low): Incidents that have minor impact and can be resolved quickly without causing significant damage.

  • Level 2 (Moderate): Incidents that have a noticeable impact on the organization and require immediate attention to avoid further damage.

  • Level 3 (High): Incidents that have a severe impact on the organization's operations and require immediate action to contain and resolve the incident.

Roles and responsibilities​

  • Incident Response Team (IRT): The team responsible for responding to security incidents, consisting of IT staff, security personnel, and any other relevant stakeholders.

  • Incident Coordinator: The individual responsible for managing the incident response process, including coordinating with the IRT and other stakeholders, assessing the severity of the incident, and ensuring that the response is effective.

  • IT/Security Staff: Responsible for identifying, investigating, and resolving security incidents.

Escalation paths​

  • Incident Reporting: All incidents must be reported to the Incident Response Team (IRT) as soon as they are identified. This can be done through a dedicated incident reporting system, an email address, or a phone number. The incident report should include a description of the incident, the impact it is having on the organization, and any relevant evidence.

  • Initial Assessment:The IRT will conduct an initial assessment of the incident to determine its severity and impact. Based on this assessment, the IRT may decide to escalate the incident to a higher level.

  • Level 1 Escalation: For low-level incidents, the IRT may be able to resolve the incident without escalating it further. This may involve implementing temporary fixes, applying security patches, or updating security policies.

  • Level 2 Escalation: For moderate-level incidents, the IRT will escalate the incident to the Incident Coordinator. The Incident Coordinator will assess the incident and determine the appropriate response, which may involve involving additional resources or experts. The Incident Coordinator will also communicate with relevant stakeholders, such as management and legal, to keep them informed of the incident and any response actions.

  • Level 3 Escalation: For high-level incidents, the IRT will escalate the incident to senior management or executive leadership. This may involve activating the organization's emergency response plan or bringing in outside experts or consultants to assist with the response. The Incident Coordinator will continue to coordinate the response, but with additional oversight from senior management or executive leadership.

Evidence collection​

As soon as an incident is detected or reported, all relevant systems, devices, and logs will be preserved to prevent any further modifications or deletions of data. This includes collecting and preserving electronic data, such as system logs, network traffic, and application data.

Required actions​

  • Incident Identification: All employees will be trained to identify and report any security incidents as soon as they are detected. This includes reporting any suspicious activities, unauthorized access, data breaches, malware infections, and other security-related incidents.

  • Incident Categorization: The IRT will conduct an initial assessment of the incident to determine its severity and impact. The incident will be categorized based on a predefined severity scale to determine the appropriate level of response.

  • Incident Containment: The IRT will take immediate action to contain the incident to prevent further damage or loss of data. This may involve isolating affected systems, disabling network connections, or shutting down affected services.

  • Incident Analysis: The IRT will analyze the incident to determine the root cause and identify any indicators of compromise. This may involve collecting and analyzing system logs, network traffic, and other relevant data.

  • Incident Response: The IRT will develop a response plan based on the severity of the incident and the impact it is having on the organization. The response plan should include clear procedures for communication, coordination, and collaboration among the IRT members and other relevant stakeholders.

  • Incident Recovery: The IRT will work to restore normal operations as soon as possible while ensuring the security of the systems and data. This may involve restoring from backups, patching vulnerabilities, or rebuilding systems.

  • Incident Review: After the incident has been resolved, the IRT will conduct a post-incident review to identify any lessons learned or areas for improvement. This review will be used to update the organization's security incident response policy and procedures to better prepare for future incidents.
