Introduction

This Incident Response Plan outlines the procedures and responsibilities for addressing security incidents affecting the PlanX application. The plan's primary goal is to minimise the impact of security incidents on the application's availability, integrity, and confidentiality.

Incident Classification

Security incidents will be classified into the following categories based on severity -

• Level 1: Critical incidents that pose an immediate threat to the application's availability or data integrity
• Level 2: High-priority incidents with potential to impact the application's security or functionality
• Level 3: Moderate-priority incidents that require investigation and mitigation

Incident Response Team

The Incident Response Team consists of the following key roles -

• Incident Coordinator: Responsible for overall incident management and communication
• Technical Lead: Manages technical aspects of incident resolution.
• Communication Lead: Handles external and internal communication during an incident
• Legal/Compliance Representative: Ensures legal and regulatory compliance

As a small and distributed team we envision that a single individual would cover multiple roles.

Incident Reporting

Any team member who identifies or suspects an incident must immediately report it to the Incident Coordinator. Reports should include a description of the incident, its impact, and any relevant evidence.
