Q: What policies should we adopt for security incident response?
A: Create policies to handle incidents. However, to keep your systems simple, develop a generic security incident-response policy. This policy will require you to maintain a current security incident-response plan, update the plan periodically or as needed, and test the plan periodically or after implementation of any major organizational or technical changes that affect your information systems.
This question was answered By Kevin Beaver, CISSP. This is not legal advice. Consult with your facility's legal counsel for legal matters.
