Incident Response Process

1. Detection

  • Real-time monitoring and alerting on infrastructure, application, and security metrics
  • Automated anomaly detection for unusual access patterns
  • Customer reports via support@petrobench.com or legal@petrobench.com
  • Vulnerability scanning and dependency auditing

2. Triage

  • On-call engineer assesses severity and impact
  • Incident classified using the severity levels above
  • Response team assembled based on severity (Critical/High: immediate full team)

3. Containment

  • Immediate actions to limit impact (isolate affected systems, revoke compromised credentials, block attack vectors)
  • Preserve evidence for investigation
  • Communication channels established for response coordination

4. Investigation

  • Root cause analysis conducted
  • Scope of impact determined (which customers, what data, what timeframe)
  • Forensic evidence collected and preserved

5. Resolution

  • Fix deployed and verified
  • Affected systems restored to normal operation
  • Monitoring enhanced for recurrence

6. Post-Incident

  • Post-incident report written within 5 business days of resolution
  • Lessons learned reviewed and remediation actions tracked
  • Process improvements implemented where needed
