IR-3(3) Continuous Improvement
Control enhancement of IR-3 Incident Response Testing
Control
Use qualitative and quantitative data from testing to:
Determine the effectiveness of incident response processes;
Continuously improve incident response processes; and
Provide incident response measures and metrics that are accurate, consistent, and in a reproducible format.
Discussion
To help incident response activities function as intended, organizations may use metrics and evaluation criteria to assess incident response programs as part of an effort to continually improve response performance. These efforts facilitate improvement in incident response efficacy and lessen the impact of incidents.

We assess where you stand against this control, document the gap, and build the remediation plan your auditor and your board will both accept.
