building-incident-response-playbook
Designs and documents structured incident response playbooks with step-by-step procedures per incident type, decision trees, escalation criteria, RACI matrices, and SOAR platform integration, aligned to NIST SP 800-61r3 and SANS PICERL. Use when creating or maturing an IR program, documenting response runbooks for a new incident type, or designing SOAR playbooks.

# Building Incident Response Playbooks
## When to Use
- Establishing or maturing an incident response program from scratch
- Documenting procedures for a new incident type after a novel attack
- Automating response workflows in a SOAR platform (Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR)
- Preparing for compliance audits requiring documented IR procedures (SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA)
- Conducting a gap analysis of existing IR capabilities against specific threat scenarios
**Do not use** for one-time ad hoc investigations; playbooks are reusable procedure documents, not case-specific reports.
## Prerequisites
