Frequently Asked Questions
What is an escalation matrix?
An escalation matrix defines who handles an incident at each severity level and when it must be passed on. It ensures serious issues reach the right people quickly.
When should a SOC analyst escalate?
Escalate when severity, scope, or required expertise exceeds your tier, or when response time targets are at risk. Follow your matrix and document the reasoning.
What makes a good SOC ticket?
A clear title, severity, timeline, evidence, actions taken, and next steps. This free Codelivly room shows how to write documentation others can act on without asking questions.
