IR-2(1) Simulated Events

Enhancement of: IR-2

High-Level Description

Family: Incident Response (IR) Framework: NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5

Organizations establish requirements for responding to incidents in incident response plans. Incorporating simulated events into incident response training helps to ensure that personnel understand their individual responsibilities and what specific actions to take in crisis situations.

What to Check

• Verify IR-2(1) Simulated Events is documented in SSP
• Confirm control is operating effectively
• Review evidence of continuous monitoring for IR-2(1)
• Verify enhancement builds upon base control IR-2

How to Test

Step 1: Review Documentation

Examine the System Security Plan (SSP) and related artifacts for IR-2(1) implementation details. Verify the organization has documented how this control is satisfied.

Step 2: Validate Implementation

# For cloud environments, use cloud-audit-mcp tools
# For on-premises, review system configurations directly

# Example: Check if account management policies exist
grep -r "account.management\|access.control" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null

Step 3: Test Operating Effectiveness

Verify the control is actively functioning, not just documented. Check logs, configurations, and operational evidence.
