RS.CO-01
Do personnel understand their specific roles, responsibilities, and the order of operations during a security incident response?
Explanation
This question assesses whether staff members know exactly what actions they need to take when a security incident occurs, including who to contact, what procedures to follow, and in what sequence. Effective incident response requires clear role definition and understanding of the escalation path to minimize confusion and response time during high-stress situations. Evidence could include documented incident response plans with clearly defined roles and responsibilities, records of tabletop exercises or simulations, and signed acknowledgments from staff confirming they understand their specific incident response duties.
