Post-Incident Review

Definitions

1. A structured review conducted after an incident to analyze what happened, what went well, what failed, and what changes are needed to improve prevention and response. Effective post-incident reviews focus on process and system improvement rather than blame.

   In plain English: A review after an incident to learn what happened and how to improve.

   Example: "The post-incident review showed the technical containment was fast, but internal communications and ownership were too fragmented."
