The information gained from the evaluation of information security incidents should be used to: a) enhance the incident management plan, including incident scenarios and procedures; b) identify recurring or serious incidents and their causes to update the organisation’s information security risk assessment and to determine and implement necessary additional controls to reduce the likelihood or impact of future similar incidents. Mechanisms to facilitate this include collecting, quantifying, and monitoring information about incident types, volumes, and costs; c) enhance user awareness and training by providing examples of what can happen and how to respond effectively. - [Getting Started](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/getting-started?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Accounts & Billing](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/getting-started?hsLang=en#accounts-billing) - [FAQ's on Adoptech](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/faqs-on-adoptech?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Frameworks](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/faqs-on-adoptech?hsLang=en#frameworks) - [Policies & Documents](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/faqs-on-adoptech?hsLang=en#policies-documents) - [Risk Management](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/faqs-on-adoptech?hsLang=en#risk-management) - [Supplier Management](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/faqs-on-adoptech?hsLang=en#supplier-management) - [Audit Preparation](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/faqs-on-adoptech?hsLang=en#audit-preparation) - [Trust Centre](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/faqs-on-adoptech?hsLang=en#trust-centre) - [User Management](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/faqs-on-adoptech?hsLang=en#user-management) - [Frameworks & Certifications](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#main-content) - [ISO 27001](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#iso-27001) - [ISO 42001](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#iso-42001) - [Cyber Essentials](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#cyber-essentials) - [CAF](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#caf) - [PCI-DSS](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#pci-dss) - [SOC2](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#soc2) - [Data Privacy (GDPR)](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#data-privacy-gdpr) - [DORA](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#dora) - [ISO 9001](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#iso-9001) - [ISO 22301](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#iso-22301) - [ISO 14001](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#iso-14001) - [NIST 800-53](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#nist-800-53) - [NIST-CSF](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#nist-csf) - [NIS2](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#nis2) - [ISO 20000-1](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#iso-20000-1) - [HIPAA](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/frameworks-certifications?hsLang=en#hipaa) - [Integrations](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Cloud Infrastructure](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/integrations?hsLang=en#cloud-infrastructure) - [Identity & Access](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/integrations?hsLang=en#identity-access) - [DevOps & Code](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/integrations?hsLang=en#devops-code) - [Project Management](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/integrations?hsLang=en#project-management) - [HR & People Systems](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/integrations?hsLang=en#hr-people-systems) - [Security & Devices](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/integrations?hsLang=en#security-devices) - [Communication & Collaboration](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/integrations?hsLang=en#communication-collaboration) - [Legal & Regulations](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/legal-regulations?hsLang=en) - [Security Guidance](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/security-guidance?hsLang=en) - [Troubleshooting](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/troubleshooting?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/adoptech-logo-1.png?width=209&height=54&name=adoptech-logo-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://adoptech.co.uk/) Copyright © 2026, Adoptech Ltd.
