3 1. PURPOSE 1.1 The Security Incidents Reporting Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) supports the Information Security Policy. 1.2 HMG Security Policy Framework requires the Service to put in place effective systems for detecting, reporting and responding to security incidents. Supporting this, the ACPO/ACPOS Community Security Policy requires member forces to ensure that adequate resources are assigned to security incident investigation and quarterly reporting returns through the Police Warning, Advice and Reporting Point (PolWARP). 1.3 This SOP defines what a security incident is, how it should be reported and outlines the different types of outcomes. 2. DEFINITION OF SECURITY INCIDENT 2.1 A security incident is defined as any event such as a security breach, threat, weakness or malfunction that has, or could have, resulted in the loss or damage to PSoS information assets. Incidents fall into the following categories: Cyber/ICT security incidents - resulting from electronic attacks, compromise of communications security or disruption of online services Information breaches - compromise or loss of information through carelessness, theft, insider fraud, deliberate leaking or malicious attack Physical security incidents - resulting from criminality or environmental hazards 2.2 Refer to Appendix M for examples of Security Incidents. 2.3 Any security weakness identified or suspected should be reported in accordance with section 4 of this procedure. 3. RESPONSIBILITIES 3.1 All users* of Police Service of Scotland (PSoS) information and information systems are responsible for: Noting and reporting any observed or suspected information security events, incidents or weaknesses. In the event of a cyber/ict security incident, following the protocol in the IT Security SOP. * Users are defined as PSoS personnel (officers and police staff), contractors, and third party users (any other personnel authorised to use PSoS information and information systems) 3

4 3.2 Line Managers are responsible for: Ensuring that all staff under their supervision are made aware of and have access to the procedure for reporting information security incidents. Ensuring that their staff are available to assist in the investigation of a security incident. 3.3 Information Security Officers (ISO) are responsible for: Through-life co-ordination of information security incidents in accordance with this procedure Supporting the submission of internal and external information security incident reports. 3.4 The Head of Information Management will be responsible for: Ensuring the timely submission of relevant security reports to the Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO), in accordance with the service's Information Risk Appetite and obligations under relevant codes of connection. Ensuring the timely submission of quarterly reports of slow time incidents through the Police Warning Advice and Reporting Point (PolWARP). 4.
