What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 57 controls across 26 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • NIST-CSF-DE.AE-08 Incidents are declared when adverse events meet the defined incident criteria
  • NIST-CSF-ID.IM-04 Incident response plans and other cybersecurity plans that affect operations are established, communicated, maintained, and improved
  • NIST-CSF-RC.RP-01 The recovery portion of the incident response plan is executed once initiated from the incident response process
  • NIST-CSF-RS.CO-03 Information is shared with designated internal and external stakeholders
  • NIST-CSF-RS.MA-01 The incident response plan is executed in coordination with relevant third parties once an incident is declared
  • NIST-CSF-RS.MA-02 Incident reports are triaged and validated
  • NIST-CSF-RS.MA-03 Incidents are categorized and prioritized
  • NIST-CSF-RS.MA-05 The criteria for initiating incident recovery are applied
  • NIST-CSF-RS.MI-02 Incidents are eradicated

Other controls in Incident Response

You are reading one control. How much of AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar have you already done?

AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar SEC10-BP02 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 52 of 63 AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 0 were rejected on the NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
