What this page does

The generator helps you draft an Incident Response Policy tailored to your organization. It covers roles and responsibilities, severity levels, communication plans, containment steps, evidence handling, notification timelines, and post-incident reviews. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Why it matters

A clear policy reduces confusion and delays during high-stress events, improves coordination, and supports legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations. It also creates a foundation for tabletop exercises and continuous improvement.

How to use the tool

• Enter your organization name and scope, then define severity levels and roles.
• Describe detection sources, containment steps, evidence handling, and communication channels.
• Set notification timelines and list external contacts and tools.
• Click "Generate Policy," then Print to PDF or Download as a text file.
• Have leadership approve and schedule a tabletop exercise to validate the process.

Privacy

Practical tips

• Keep the policy short and actionable, link to playbooks for technical details.
• Maintain an on-call list and an out-of-band communications plan.
• Track lessons learned and update controls after each incident.
