CMMC Incident Response (IR) Overview
The Incident Response (IR) domain in CMMC focuses on preparing for, detecting, reporting, and responding to cybersecurity incidents that could compromise Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Key objectives include:
-
• Establishing an incident response plan and defined procedures
• Detecting and reporting cybersecurity events promptly
• Containing, analyzing, and mitigating incidents effectively
• Documenting incidents and response actions for accountability
• Using incident data to improve future response and resilience
A structured incident response capability minimizes damage, supports recovery, and ensures compliance with CMMC 2.0, helping organizations protect sensitive data and maintain operational continuity.
