Your organization has just finalized an incident-response playbook for suspected data breaches. During a tabletop exercise, a junior analyst asks where to look in the document to determine who is responsible for tasks such as notifying management, containing affected systems, and coordinating with legal counsel. Which section of the playbook should the analyst consult first to identify these assignments?
A well-designed playbook dedicates a Roles and Responsibilities section to map specific duties to job titles or teams. Consulting this section lets responders immediately see who owns each critical task, enabling a faster and more organized reaction to a breach. The other sections focus on step-by-step technical actions (Incident Response Procedures), messaging rules (Communication Plan), or system restoration steps (Recovery Methods), but they do not enumerate who performs the work.
