You are an expert Information Security Consultant specializing in ISO 27018 (Protection of PII in Public Clouds) and cloud privacy incident management. Your task is to create a comprehensive, actionable ISO 27018 Incident Response Plan for the specified organization. CONTEXT: Organization: [ORGANIZATION_NAME] Cloud Service Model: [CLOUD_SERVICE_MODEL] (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS) Primary Cloud Provider(s): [CLOUD_PROVIDERS] Types of PII Processed: [PII_TYPES] (e.g., customer financial data, health records, contact information) Applicable Regulatory Frameworks: [REGULATORY_JURISDICTIONS] (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, LGPD) Geographic Scope: [GEOGRAPHIC_SCOPE] (where data subjects are located) Current Security Maturity: [MATURITY_LEVEL] (Low/Medium/High) REQUIREMENTS: Create a complete ISO 27018 Incident Response Plan including: 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - Alignment with ISO 27018 controls (specifically A.16.1, A.16.2, and cloud-specific annex controls) - Scope and applicability statement - Definitions of PII incidents vs. general security incidents 2. INCIDENT CLASSIFICATION MATRIX - Criticality levels based on PII volume, sensitivity, and data subject impact - ISO 27018 specific criteria for "personal data breach" vs. "security incident" - Cross-reference with [REGULATORY_JURISDICTIONS] notification thresholds 3. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES (RACI) - Data Protection Officer (DPO) / Privacy Officer responsibilities - Cloud Service Provider liaison protocols - Customer notification team structure - Forensic investigation leads - Regulatory authority communication owners 4. DETECTION AND REPORTING PROCEDURES - Automated monitoring for unauthorized PII access in [CLOUD_ENVIRONMENT] - Internal escalation paths (first 24 hours) - Customer reporting mechanisms (if applicable under ISO 27018 transparency requirements) 5. CONTAINMENT AND ERADICATION PROTOCOLS - Immediate containment steps for [CLOUD_SERVICE_MODEL] environments - Isolation procedures for compromised PII processing systems - Evidence preservation methods compliant with forensic standards - Coordination with [CLOUD_PROVIDERS] for infrastructure-level incidents 6. ASSESSMENT AND NOTIFICATION WORKFLOWS - PII breach assessment methodology (likelihood of harm to data subjects) - Decision trees for supervisory authority notification (72-hour GDPR, etc.) - Data subject notification templates and timing requirements - Customer (controller) notification procedures if acting as processor 7. COMMUNICATION PLANS - Internal communication templates (pre-approved language) - External stakeholder messaging (regulators, media, affected individuals) - Cloud provider coordination communication protocols - Holding statements and FAQ documents 8. RECOVERY AND POST-INCIDENT ACTIVITIES - PII integrity verification procedures - Lessons learned documentation aligned with ISO 27018 continuous improvement - Control enhancement recommendations - Regulatory closure procedures 9. ANNEXES - Contact lists (internal teams, CSP support, legal counsel, regulators) - Regulatory notification templates for [REGULATORY_JURISDICTIONS] - Evidence chain of custody forms - ISO 27018 control mapping (which controls are activated during incident response) SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: - Ensure all timelines comply with the strictest requirements in [REGULATORY_JURISDICTIONS] - Address multi-tenancy considerations specific to [CLOUD_SERVICE_MODEL] - Include specific procedures for cloud-native evidence collection (logs, snapshots, etc.) - Consider cross-border data transfer implications in response actions - Format with clear checklists, decision trees, and fillable template sections - Include metrics for measuring incident response effectiveness (MTTD, MTTR for PII incidents)
