1 Incident reporting procedure Responsible Officer Author Date effective from Aug 2009 Date last amended Aug 2009 Review date July 2012 Ben Bennett, Business Planning & Resources Director Julian Lewis, Governance Manager Page 1 of 9

2 1 Introduction 1.1 Incident reporting plays a major role in helping the Institute maintain a safe and secure working environment. It helps protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information and systems accessed and is an essential element for effective risk management. Trend analysis of reported incidents enables the organisation to highlight areas of weakness and, if necessary, take appropriate action to reduce specific threats and vulnerabilities. 1.2 The Institute must demonstrate a commitment to, and delivery of, effective information governance. Incident management is a cyclical process of identification, reporting, investigation, resolution and learning to minimise the risk of re-occurrence. 1.3 All staff members have a responsibility to report information security incidents whether deliberate or accidental. 1.4 The procedure outlines the main requirements for incident reporting related to information security only and is designed to ensure core data is recorded, the event is properly reviewed, corrective action taken where necessary to minimise the risk of re-occurrence and to provide clarity over accountability and responsibility for actions. 1.5 Incidents relating to health & safety should be reported in accordance with the Health & Safety policy. Any identified fraud should be reported in accordance with the Counter Fraud policy. 2 Information security 2.1 An information security incident is any actual or potential breach of security which may compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of information stored, processed and communicated in relation to the Institute s business whether in hard copy or electronic format. 2.2 The term security incident covers a wide range of events which can vary considerably and it is therefore not possible to detail every single event. The following list gives examples of types of security incidents that should be reported: Type of data Sensitive personal data 1 Example Risk of accidental or deliberate disclosure of sensitive personal data e.g 1. Personnel or recruitment files left unattended on a desk eg 2. Patient expert applications held on a file drive with general staff access Confidential information including Risk of accidental or deliberate access of confidential information by an unauthorised 1 As defined in Appendix 1 Page 2 of 9

3 CiC and AiC information person. e.g 1. CiC information taken out of the building on unencrypted media eg 2. CiC information sent by without password protection or encryption Passwords An unauthorised person has gained access to your account or attempted to gain access using your password e.g Password/login details left accessible and unsecured to visitors in home worker s home. Physical security breach Unauthorised access to secure areas containing confidential information Eg forced access to tamber unit containing confidential information or sensitive personal data Theft or loss of portable media Laptops or other portable media containing confidential or sensitive personal data lost or stolen e.g. laptop stolen from car 2.3 This list is not exhaustive and staff must ensure they report any incident where they have a reasonable belief that there is a risk to the security of sensitive personal data or any confidential information. 3 Reporting security incidents 3.1 All information security incidents should be reported using the form at Appendix 3 and notified to the line manager, Business Planning and Resources Director and Governance Manager. Any incident occurring outside secure office premises should be reported immediately to the Business Planning and Resources Director and Governance Manager. 3.2 Information on the incident should include a description of the data lost or stolen, whether it was held in hard copy or portable media, the quantity (if known), where it was lost and the sensitivity of the data (if known). 3.3 The Corporate Office will retain a central log of all significant security breaches. These will be reported to the Audit Committee by the Governance Manager and escalated via the Senior Information Risk Officer as necessary in accordance with the Serious Untoward Incident reporting procedure (Appendix 2). 4 Sensitive security incidents 4.1 It is recognised that some incidents can be sensitive especially if colleagues or managers may be incriminated. It is important that the Page 3 of 9

4 person reporting the incident receives absolute protection and guarantee of confidentiality even in the event of a false alarm. In these circumstances the provisions of the Whistle blowing policy will apply and the individual identifying the incident should complete the incident report on their behalf and forward direct to the SIRO. 5 Accidental breaches of security 5.1 If an individual unintentionally causes a potential breach of security such as losing their smart card, they should inform their line manager immediately. The reporting procedure detailed below will still be followed. 6 Security weaknesses 6.1 Staff should report any observed or suspected security weaknesses such as staff sharing User IDs and Passwords, including Smartcards, system admin privileges given to individuals who do not require them. 6.2 Staff should not attempt to prove a suspected security weakness as this might be interpreted as a potential misuse of the system. Instead the weakness should be reported to the IT department and additionally to their line manager. The line manager will ensure the weakness is reported to the Business Planning & Resources Director. 7 Incident resolution 7.1 Once the incident has been dealt with and closed, the individual who reported the incident should be notified of the resolution. This is the responsibility of the designated manager investigating the incident but may be delegated to the individuals line manager 8 Further information 8.1 Further information, including contact details, can be found on the governance section of the intranet.
