Why does ISO 27035 focus on structured incident management?
ISO 27035 emphasizes structure to ensure incidents are handled consistently, legally, and with minimal business disruption.
Unstructured incident response often leads to delayed decisions, inconsistent actions, and regulatory exposure. ISO 27035 addresses this risk by defining a clear lifecycle for managing information security incidents.
By following a standardized process, organizations can ensure that detection, response, communication, and recovery activities are coordinated and auditable.
