A Role Taxonomy in Security-Safety Incident Response

연구 분야: Safety

학회: International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security

Ensuring a coordinated response to safety emergencies and security incidents has become critical for maintaining operational continuity and trust, particularly within complex supply chains. As guidelines and standards attempt to tackle the problem and outline areas of responsibility, their different approaches leave them vulnerable to generalization, hindering easy comparison and understanding of how to implement the standards and regulations. Therefore, we present a comprehensive two-level taxonomy of roles in security incident and safety emergency response. It is based on relevant security and safety standards, frameworks, and regulations to identify common responsibilities and highlight differences, while also analyzing them in terms of Separation of Duty friendliness. We employed a qualitative approach to validate the taxonomy through questionnaires and in-depth interviews with industry experts. The findings indicate that such a role taxonomy needs further academic attention and is additionally needed by practitioners.
