A security engineer is trying to identify appropriate groups to help determine which groups should be part of incident response. Which guide could they use?

The Computer Security Incident Handling Guide, known as NIST 800-61, is specifically designed to aid organizations in establishing effective incident response capabilities. This guide provides comprehensive information on the processes and best practices required for incident detection, reporting, assessment, response, and recovery. It emphasizes the establishment of an incident response team, which is crucial for effectively managing incidents.

In the context of identifying appropriate groups to be involved in incident response, NIST 800-61 outlines the roles and responsibilities needed within an incident response team, as well as guidelines on how to organize and prepare these groups. The guide also discusses the importance of involving different stakeholders, including technical staff, management, and legal advisors, ensuring a holistic approach to incident management.

Other resources, like NIST 800-53, focus more on establishing security and privacy controls across information systems and do not specifically address incident response team structure. ISO standard 15408 (Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation) pertains to evaluating the security properties of IT products and is not focused on incident response. COBIT is a framework for developing, implementing, monitoring, and improving IT governance, management, and controls, but it lacks the detailed guidance on incident response teams that NIST 800-61 provides.
