Security Incident Response Policy

The Security Incident Response Policy from TechRepublic Premium describes the organization’s process for minimizing and mitigating the results of an information technology security-related incident.

The policy’s purpose is to define for employees, IT department staff and users the process to be followed when experiencing a suspected IT-security incident.

From the policy:

The following, while not an exclusive list, are examples of suspected technology-related security incidents that should be reported to the IT director:

Receiving strange unprompted messages, error windows or pop-up alerts.

Abnormally slow performance, unusual system errors, strange dialog boxes recommending antivirus or antispyware registration, etc.

The download comprises a seven-page PDF and Word document.
