Control 3.6.1

★What This Means in Plain English

You must have a documented incident response plan and the people, processes, and tools to execute it. When a security incident happens, your team must know exactly what to do at each stage from detection through recovery.

✓How Petronella Implements This Control

Petronella Technology Group implements this control through:

• Documented Incident Response Plan (IRP) covering all six phases: preparation, detection, analysis, containment, eradication, and recovery
• Designated incident response team with defined roles and escalation procedures
• Arctic Wolf SIEM/SOAR providing automated detection and initial response playbooks
• CrowdStrike Falcon and Sophos XDR providing endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities
• ComplianceArmor maintaining the IRP, contact lists, and incident documentation templates
• 24/7 monitoring through Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

🔎Assessment Guidance

Assessors will review the Incident Response Plan for completeness, verify that an incident response team is designated with contact information, check that detection tools are operational, and test the team's knowledge of their roles and procedures.

⚠Common Implementation Gaps

• No documented incident response plan
• No designated incident response team
• No detection capabilities beyond basic antivirus
• Incident response plan exists but has never been tested
• No defined escalation or communication procedures
