Incident Reporting

Lastly, you must emphasize the importance of incident reporting to investigate and mitigate any potential security breaches as they arise. Your team members should understand how to file a report and also that they would need to notify you immediately.

Understand that your staff might be hesitant to report incidents. Therefore, you should promote a positive impression of security personnel and let your team know that there will not be retribution for reporting incidents.

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, in a survey of 1,100 employees, 76% responded that they can't raise a security issue without fear of reprisal.
