Combination of incident and security response processes ensured compliance-aligned reporting.
Feature-flag rollback procedure minimized user impact and allowed controlled follow-up analysis.
Define roles, escalation paths and communication channels.
Create runbooks and standard playbooks for critical scenarios.
