Response Plan

Definitions

  1. A documented plan describing how an organization will handle a specific kind of incident or security event, including roles, decision points, actions, and communications. A response plan is broader than a single alert rule because it coordinates people and processes as well as technical steps.

    In plain English: A written plan for how to respond to a security incident.

    Example: "The ransomware response plan specified when to isolate sites, how to validate backups, and who could approve broad shutdown actions."
