Section: INFORMATION SECURITY PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

When reporting an incident to senior management, the initial information to be communicated should include an explanation of what happened and how the breach was resolved. A summary of security logs would be too technical to report to senior management. An analysis of the impact of similar attacks and a business case for improving controls would be desirable; however, these would be communicated later in the process.

Explanation:
Changes in the systems infrastructure are most likely to inadvertently introduce new exposures.
Conducting a test after an attempted penetration is not as productive since an organization should not wait until it is attacked to test its defenses. Any exposure identified by an audit should be corrected before it would be appropriate to test. A turnover in administrative staff does not warrant a penetration test, although it may- warrant a review of password change practices and configuration management.
