What information is generally included in a security incident report?

1. Victims' financial information

2. Details of the incident and actions taken

3. Confidential details about company policies

4. Name of witnesses only

The correct answer is: Details of the incident and actions taken

A security incident report serves as a formal document that captures all relevant details regarding an incident involving security. This includes specifics such as the date, time, and location of the incident, descriptions of what occurred, the individuals involved, and any actions taken in response to the incident. The purpose of this comprehensive documentation is to ensure clarity and provide a record for future reference or investigations. In contrast, including victims' financial information is inappropriate and irrelevant to a security incident report, as it doesn't pertain to the nature or management of the incident itself. Confidential company policies are also not relevant; these policies guide the response but are not detailed in the report. Lastly, while the names of witnesses might be included, focusing solely on witnesses does not provide a complete picture of the incident, which is why a broader summary, including actions taken, is essential for an effective report.
