mentions rules as well as regulations. Thus, this policy is important for the company because it
makes the employees responsible towards corporate data along with information technology
assets. In addition, the incident response (IR) policy is considered as organized method to how
an entity would manage the incidents and remediate the impacts to functions of company. The
