5.3 Post-Incident Learning & Prevention

  • The Post-Incident Review (PIR): After an incident, the team meets to analyze what happened. This is not about blame; it is about process improvement.

    • Questions asked: What worked? What failed? Was the response time fast enough?

  • Root Cause Analysis (RCA) – The “5 Whys”: To find the true source of the problem, we ask “Why” five times.

    • Example: Data was leaked. -> Why? -> An employee uploaded it to Dropbox. -> Why? -> They couldn’t send it via email (too large). -> Why? -> The corporate secure transfer tool was broken. -> Why? -> Lack of maintenance.

    • Root Cause: The failure of the supported tool forced the user to use Shadow IT.

  • Feedback Loop: The results of the PIR and RCA are used to update the Threat Model and Security Policies to prevent recurrence.
