What is the purpose of the USG Institution Security Incident Report?
The USG Institution Information Security Incident Report provides documentation and accountability in response to incidents. It helps the institution identify and correct problems and control deficiencies within the institution, and ensures that the head of the institution and the USG is aware of the incident and its cause, so that he/she might direct the institution’s response and corrective action plan to prevent similar occurrences in the future. It also helps the USG Office of Information Security (OIS) monitor and mitigate system-wide problems or trends.
