Description

Personnel must be able and required to report observed or suspected information security events promptly through defined channels.

Implementation requirements: (1) Reporting channels: define and publish at least one primary channel (e.g. security@ email, ticketing system) and one out-of-band channel (e.g. phone/Signal) for use when primary is unavailable or the event involves the primary channel owner. (2) Scope of reportable events: suspicious access, phishing attempts targeting wallet users or staff, credential misuse indicators, device loss/compromise, abnormal system behavior, policy violations. (3) No-retaliation policy: explicitly documented; staff must be aware that good-faith reports are protected. (4) Response SLA: initial acknowledgement within 4 hours; triage and classification within 24 hours. SLAs MUST be documented. (5) Awareness: reporting procedure MUST be covered in security awareness training (SID-PPL-02) and included in onboarding. (6) Integration with incident management: reports feed directly into the incident response process (SID-OPS-01).

Review criteria: documented reporting channels, no-retaliation policy, response SLA, evidence of inclusion in training materials.
