IRO-05.2: Automated Incident Response Training Environments
Automated mechanisms exist to provide a more thorough and realistic incident response training environment.
Control Question: Does the organization use automated mechanisms to provide a more thorough and realistic incident response training environment?

Capability Maturity Model
Level 0 — Not Performed
There is no evidence of a capability to provide a more thorough and realistic incident response training environment.
Level 1 — Performed Informally
C|P-CMM1 is N/A, since a structured process is required to provide a more thorough and realistic incident response training environment.
Level 2 — Planned & Tracked
C|P-CMM2 is N/A, since a well-defined process is required to provide a more thorough and realistic incident response training environment.
Level 3 — Well Defined
Incident Response (IR) processes are standardized across the organization and centrally managed, where technically feasible, to ensure consistency. CMM Level 3 control maturity would reasonably expect all, or at least most, the following criteria to exist:
- An Integrated Security Incident Response Team (ISIRT), or similar function, exists to form an on-demand, scalable and integrated team of formally-assigned cybersecurity, IT, data privacy and business function representatives that can perform coordinated incident response.
- The ISIRT, or similar function, develops and maintains a documented, program-level Integrated Incident Response Program (IIRP) that provides operational and tactical-level guidance for cybersecurity and data privacy response operations.
- A Security Operations Center (SOC), or similar function, facilitates incident management operations that includes preparation, detection and analysis, containment, eradication and recovery.
- Business Process Owners (BPOs), in conjunction with the SOC and ISIRT functions, develop and maintain a documented Incident Response Plan (IRP) specific to the business process / business unit but inclusive of the organization's larger approach to incident response operations.
- An IT Asset Management (ITAM) function, or similar function, categorizes endpoint devices according to the data the asset stores, transmits and/ or processes and provides that information to the SOC for Incident Response Operations (IRO).
Level 4 — Quantitatively Controlled
See C|P-CMM3. There are no defined C|P-CMM4 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a quantitatively-controlled process is not necessary to provide a more thorough and realistic incident response training environment.
Level 5 — Continuously Improving
See C|P-CMM4. There are no defined C|P-CMM5 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a continuously-improving process is not necessary to provide a more thorough and realistic incident response training environment.
Assessment Objectives
- IRO-05.2_A01 automated mechanisms used in an incident response training environment are defined.
- IRO-05.2_A02 an incident response training environment is provided using automated mechanisms.
