Description

A documented incident response plan ensures your organization responds quickly and consistently when security issues occur.

This plan defines who responds, what they do, how they communicate, and how the incident is documented and reviewed afterward.

Having a plan in place reduces response time, improves decision-making under pressure, and helps preserve evidence if legal action becomes necessary.
