# Incident response

## When it applies
A confirmed or suspected compromise needs a coordinated response — not just analysis, but decisions
about containment, eviction, and recovery under time pressure.

## Why it works
A repeatable lifecycle keeps a stressful event from becoming chaos: it sequences the actions so you
scope before you contain, contain before you tip off the adversary, and eradicate fully before you
recover — the mistakes that turn one incident into three.

## Method (NIST / PICERL lifecycle)
1. **Prepare** (before): comms plan, roles, logging, backups, and access ready. You don't want to
   build these mid-incident.
