1. Check to ensure there are written procedures for identifying, reporting, and handling systems security incidents. 2. Check to ensure that procedures for handling system security incidents are included in both initial and annual (refresher) employee training. NOTE: Applies in a tactical environment. While procedures for incident handling might not be readily available in a mobile/field location, they should be established and available at a supporting fixed headquarters facility. Field units must still be informed and knowledgeable of their responsibility to report security incidents. This knowledge can be ascertained by asking field organization leadership what they would do in a spillage or similar computer security incident.
