Incident response prioritizes containment, evidence preservation, recovery and communication in a fixed escalation logic.

Building blocks

Which building blocks make Responding to security incidents robust.

In a security incident, coordinate containment and evidence preservation. Recovery uses checked sources and defined approval. Record and communicate confirmed facts, open questions and decisions separately throughout.

01

Contain

Limit spread by controlled isolation of affected accounts, devices and network paths while checking critical service impact.

02

Preserve

Preserve relevant logs, memory captures, timelines and artefacts before changes. Cleaning or restarting may hinder investigation.

03

Recover

Restore priority systems from checked sources. Verify function and potential re-entry paths before release.

04

Communicate

Coordinate updates to leadership, IT, business teams and external parties, separating facts, open questions and planned steps.

05

Post-Incident Review

Review cause, entry path and response. Track identified gaps through actions, owners and deadlines.

Decision support

What must be clear before implementing Responding to security incidents.

  • Which accounts and systems can be isolated first, and which business services depend on them?
  • Which logs and artifacts must be preserved before cleanup begins?
  • Which recovery source is considered trusted, and who may authorize return to service?
  • Who communicates when to management, employees, customers, authorities and providers?
