The AnyDB Security Incident Record template enables organizations to document, track, and resolve cybersecurity or IT-related security events. It provides a structured and comprehensive format for logging incidents—covering what happened, when it occurred, who is responsible for resolving it, and what actions were taken. The template supports incident management, audit readiness, and security compliance initiatives.

IT

Description

This template captures detailed metadata about each security incident, such as the title, type (e.g., Malware, Data Breach), severity level, incident date, and resolution status. It includes fields for describing affected systems, a detailed narrative of the incident, and investigation results. Additional sections cover containment actions, root cause analysis, and any supporting evidence.

Rich-text fields are used for narrative input (e.g., Description, Root Cause Analysis), while dropdowns and badges track status and severity. The visual layout uses labeled headers such as INVESTIGATION & RESPONSE and EVIDENCE & DOCUMENTATION to organize data clearly.

Badges automatically highlight:

  • Severity – (e.g., Critical, High, Medium, Low) with color-coded backgrounds
  • Status – (e.g., OPEN, CLOSED) for visual tracking of incident progress

Attachments such as screenshots, logs, or reports can be added for documentation and audit purposes.
