Incident Management

The incident lifecycle, end to end

1
Phase 1
Preparation

Plans, roles and tooling are ready before anything happens — so every later phase is faster.

2
Phase 2
Detection & analysis

Anyone can raise it; the record is opened. Classify it — grade severity and decide escalation.

3
Phase 3
Resolution
Run in parallel
Contain & recover

The right people act, a decision log runs.

Preserve evidence

Secure and isolate before containment destroys it.

Notify

Meet reporting obligations: who, by when.

4
Phase 4
Post-incident activity

Learn: root cause and lessons become corrective actions.

Lessons feed back into preparation
