Incident Response Checklist

The Incident Response Checklist is a tool to help guide organizations through the process of responding to a cyber incident. It provides a step-by-step approach to help organizations quickly identify and respond to the threat. The checklist includes tasks to complete before the incident, during the incident, and after the incident. It also outlines key steps for each phase such as gathering evidence, documenting the incident, and notifying stakeholders. The checklist can be used to help organizations better prepare for and respond to cyber threats.
