Include cross-functional decision points

Security, legal, compliance, product, and executive teams need synchronized response rules.

Measure response performance

Track triage speed, containment quality, and escalation timing for each scenario.

Feed outcomes into architecture

Incident exercise learnings should directly shape control priorities and policy updates.
