RS.AN-04
Does your organization categorize security incidents according to established incident response plans?
Explanation
This question assesses whether your organization has a structured approach to classifying security incidents based on predefined categories in your incident response plans. Proper categorization ensures appropriate response procedures are followed based on incident type, severity, and impact (e.g., data breach, malware infection, denial of service). Evidence could include your incident response plan with clearly defined incident categories, incident classification criteria, incident handling procedures for each category, and sample incident tickets or reports showing how actual incidents were categorized according to the plan.
