2. Create initial incident classification matrix
3. Develop first playbook (unauthorized access)
4. Document immediate response procedures

Day 2: Capabilities

1. Configure enhanced security logging
2. Set up secure log storage with immutability
3. Create emergency access roles
4. Implement key security monitoring tools

Day 3: Training & Testing

1. Document game day scenarios
2. Create post-incident analysis template

Conclusion

This security incident response plan provides a comprehensive framework for detecting, responding to, and recovering from security incidents at Bike4Mind. By implementing this plan with the 80/20 focus areas, the organization will establish the critical capabilities needed to effectively respond to security events while continuing to enhance those capabilities over time.

The plan aligns with AWS Well-Architected framework requirements and industry best practices, providing clear roles, responsibilities, and procedures for various incident types. The pre-deployed tools and forensic capabilities ensure the team has the resources needed to investigate and remediate security incidents quickly and thoroughly.

Regular testing through game days and a commitment to continuous improvement through the learning framework will help keep the security posture strong as the threat landscape evolves.
