Incident Notification and Escalation CI RA
Initial Incident Mitigation & Response (Actions) ACI R
Escalated Incident Response & Investigation RA CI
Escalated Incident Forensic Analysis RA CI

Investigation and Escalation

MSSP is responsible for incident detection, analysis, investigation, and escalation. It is the MSSP’s primary responsibility to ensure that security events and incidents are detected and escalated in a timely manner. The MSSP will be the focal point for organizational security issues. The MSSP will be responsible for incident analysis and investigation to determine if alerts or security events warrant incident classification. If an event is classified as an incident by MSSP staff, the MSSP will be responsible for tracking the incident with the customer through the final resolution. MSSP staff will perform incident triage to include determining scope, urgency, and potential impact, and will identify specific vulnerabilities and make recommendations to allow for remediation.

InData will investigate all initial security incidents identified in ATAP and escalate as appropriate. All events and incidents will be analyzed and investigated using standard processes and procedures. Escalations will follow established escalation paths and utilize contact information collected during onboarding project(s), as mutually agreed by the parties and documented by InData.

For incidents that are assigned to the Customer after analysis, the Customer is responsible for escalating incidents back to the MSSP that require action or analysis by the MSSP.

The MSSP will be the collection point for additional group inputs for the classification of security incidents. The potential exists for other entities to notify the MSSP of possible events. In these relatively rare cases, the MSSP will ensure outside sources of information are incorporated into established MSSP workflow procedures. As events are pulled into the MSSP Workflow, it is the MSSP’s responsibility to create and classify incidents.

As the MSSP is responsible for incident escalation and response, only the MSSP has the authority to classify events or alerts as incidents to ensure due diligence of event investigation and accountability in reporting.

Additional responsibilities of the MSSP include:

  • Perform analysis on customer assets/traffic, document results noting attacker
  • Produce internal reports on security activity and MSSP workload metrics to include tickets opened, events per analyst hour, and open or pending items. Additionally, reporting may be conducted to demonstrate top firing incident types, top talking sources, and destination, and various other pre-determined MSSP
  • Assist in identifying the potential impact of incidents on customer systems and using available tools to assist the customer in determining if data was
  • Document and track alarms (false positives and false negatives, blacklists, whitelists) within ATAP via Multi-Stage Filters, White lists, and Black
  • Escalate incidents to identified customer contacts for

Reports

InData will provide reporting and metrics as mutually agreed by the parties, delivered on a monthly basis to pre-designated Customer personnel. This report will contain at a minimum, Event, Incident, and Investigation metrics as well as key performance indicators for associated technology effectiveness and analyst efficiency.

Advanced Threat Analytics Platform (“ATAP”)

InData will provide Security Event Orchestration capabilities using ATAP, including our Automated Classification Engine. This capability will provide event reduction, supervised learning, incident workflow, and incident orchestration. Task ownership underneath the function of Security Event orchestration is outlined below using a RACI Model:

Terms and Conditions for Isolations

Unless the Customer opts-out, InData will isolate potentially compromised machines.

The machines will remain in isolation until the threat has been remediated or the customer has specifically said they accept the risk and request the MSSP to remove the isolation.

  • The customer commits to identifying production impacting servers and assets that are NOT to be isolated unless the customer has given written
  • The MSSP commits to isolating machines that are NOT on the unauthorized list only to prevent the spread of malicious code and lateral movement by suspected
  • The MSSP will escalate all incidents that required isolation to the customer for their visibility and active feedback on the

Emergency maintenance means any non-scheduled, non-standard maintenance required by InData.

No statement in the section of any Services Description shall prevent

InData from conducting emergency maintenance if it is critically necessary for the integrity and security
