Incident Response
From indicators to an evidence picture.
Turn available technical records into a clearer account of what happened and what remains unknown.
01
Define the questions.
Agree the events, systems and information to examine. Scope is especially important when an incident crosses several accounts, providers or business functions.
02
Test the working explanation.
Compare relevant records and consider alternative explanations. Document gaps and areas requiring further collection rather than silently treating incomplete data as a complete account.
03
Deliver a usable account.
Explain the chronology, affected sources and limitations in language the response team can use. Link observations to practical next questions and decisions.
RELEVANT SOURCES
Start with what is available.
Discuss the sources that can help answer the question, within an authorized scope.
