Security Incident Reporting Guide
Write security incident reports that preserve facts, chronology, actions, evidence, notifications and follow-up without unsupported conclusions.
Stabilise and notify
Prioritise safety, emergency response and scene protection. Notify according to post orders and preserve evidence within lawful authority.
Build a reliable chronology
Record when the event began, was discovered, reported and responded to. Use sources such as occurrence books, access systems and CCTV carefully.
Write objectively
Identify direct observations, witness statements and assumptions separately. Avoid blame, exaggeration and conclusions beyond available evidence.
Track follow-up
Reference investigation, client communication, corrective actions and evidence retention. Protect personal information and restrict distribution appropriately.
