building-incident-response-playbook
Designs and documents structured incident response playbooks that define step-by-step procedures for specific incident types aligned with NIST SP 800-61r3 and SANS PICERL frameworks. Covers playbook structure, decision trees, escalation criteria, RACI matrices, and integration with SOAR platforms. Activates for requests involving IR playbook creation, incident response procedure documentation, response runbook development, or SOAR playbook design.

# 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.
