Incidents Required

Keep evidence in security incidents

When an incident may be an attack or a data leak, keep evidence before you clean up, and know who you must tell.

How to do it

Follow a written plan, such as one based on NIST SP 800-61 Rev. 3. Snapshot disks and copy logs before you rebuild a machine. Rotate keys the attacker may have seen. Note the legal deadlines for reporting a breach, such as 72 hours under the GDPR. The breach plan covers telling the authority and the people affected.

How to check

The security plan names who decides, who to notify and their deadlines. The last security drill or incident record shows that logs and a disk snapshot were saved before cleanup.
