Initial Decision Making

The IRT will meet and assess the situation to determine the proper response. Things it will consider include:

  1. Is the incident real or perceived?
  2. Is the incident still in progress?
  3. Is the incident security-related, information discontinuity, or both?
  4. What data or property is threatened and how critical is it?
  5. What key business processes are impacted?
  6. What facilities, staff, systems, IT, or other resources are impacted?
  7. Is the response urgent?
  8. Can the incident be quickly contained?
  9. What is the impact level on the business should the attack succeed? Low Impact, Moderate Impact or High Impact?
  10. What system or systems are targeted? Where are they located physically and on the network?
  11. Is the incident inside or outside the physical premises?
  12. What is the suspected origin of the incident, intrusion, or attack?
  13. Might a crime have been committed?
