Requirements NIST SOURCE

Provide an incident response training environment using [automated mechanisms].

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Automated mechanisms can provide a more thorough and realistic incident response training environment. This can be accomplished, for example, by providing more complete coverage of incident response issues, selecting more realistic training scenarios and environments, and stressing the response capability.

Implementation Guidance

Engineering Interpretation

Original engineering commentary written for this explorer — not NIST source text and not authoritative guidance.

No engineering interpretation has been authored for IR-2(2) yet. This section is architected to receive it — see the Requirements and Assessment sections above for the authoritative NIST source content in the meantime.

Assessment

NIST SP 800-53A REV 5.2.0

Assessment Objectives

  1. automated mechanisms used in an incident response training environment are defined;
  2. an incident response training environment is provided using <IR-02(02)_ODP automated mechanisms>.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Incident response policy; procedures addressing incident response training; incident response training curriculum; incident response training materials; automated mechanisms supporting incident response training; incident response plan; system security plan; privacy plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with incident response training and operational responsibilities; organizational personnel with information security and privacy responsibilities].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Automated mechanisms that provide a thorough and realistic incident response training environment].

Overlays

OT/ICS Overlay SP 800-82r3

NIST SP 800-82r3 Appendix F, Table 22. Blank baseline means the control/control enhancement is not selected in that initial OT baseline.

LOW

  • Base control: Included (matches standard baseline)

MODERATE

  • Base control: Included (matches standard baseline)

HIGH

  • Base control: Included (matches standard baseline)

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for IR-2(2). This section is architected to display, per product: STIG ID, Finding ID, Severity, Title, Description, Check, Fix, CCI, and NIST control mapping — but nothing is populated here until a real DISA STIG/CCI dataset is ingested.
