What is the purpose of a lessons learned review after a security incident?
- A.To analyze the incident response effectiveness, identify improvements for the IR plan, address root causes, and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future
- B.To confirm the incident was reported to the card brands on time, assign fault to the employee involved, document the disciplinary actions taken, and justify the budget for new tools
- C.To update the cardholder data flow diagram, re-run the quarterly external scan, replace the compromised hardware, and file a new attestation of compliance with the acquirer
- D.To measure how quickly the acquirer responded, rank the card brands by fine size, archive the forensic images, and reduce the scope of the next PCI DSS assessment
Why A is correct
Lessons learned reviews improve the IR plan, address root causes, and implement preventive measures to reduce the likelihood of similar future incidents.
