🇬🇧 United Kingdom · AI Incident Response Playbook
A delimiter-split deliverable: an Executive Summary Word document for sign-off (severity-classification scorecard + top 5 likely incident scenarios + sign-off block + 3 embedded charts) plus a 9-sheet operational Excel workbook designed for use under pressure: Severity Classification Matrix (P1/P2/P3/P4 with industry-specific examples + escalation thresholds), 6-Step Response Process (Detect → Contain → Assess → Notify → Remediate → Review with Status dropdown driving the live Dashboard), Regulator Directory (sorted by deadline urgency), 12 Communications Templates (4 severities × 3 audiences: Internal / Customer / Regulator), Evidence Collection Checklist (12 items × Status dropdown), Post-Incident Review framework (RCA 5-Whys + Fishbone categories + Lessons Learned + Corrective Actions Tracker), Live Incident Log Template (empty 10-row template for real-time use), Readme, and Dashboard with native dynamic radar (per-step) + doughnut (overall response readiness).
The output is anchored on the regulations that apply to AI deployments in UK. The top frameworks cited:
Process personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently per Art. 5; establish a lawful basis under Art. 6; provide subject-rights mechanisms (access, rectification, erasure, portability, automated-decision objection); report personal data breaches to the ICO within 72 hours of awareness; conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment for high-risk processing including automated decision-making with significant effects.
For law-enforcement processing: comply with Part 3 (six data-protection principles, lawful basis under s.35, automated-decision safeguards under s.49-50, breach notification). For special-category or criminal-offence data processing: meet a Schedule 1 condition (the lawful-basis requirement under UK GDPR Art. 9/10 alone is insufficient). For intelligence services: Part 4 framework. ICO has investigatory powers under Part 5 + monetary-penalty powers under Part 6 (up to £17.5m or 4% of global turnover).
In-scope services must conduct risk assessments, implement proportionate safety measures for illegal and harmful content including AI-generated material, and comply with Ofcom codes of practice on algorithmic content distribution.
Regulated sector organisations must consider and embed five AI principles — safety and security, transparency and explainability, fairness, accountability and governance, and contestability and redress — as implemented by their sectoral regulator.
You describe your organisation, jurisdiction, industry, risk appetite, and the AI tools currently in use. The tool produces a complete, structured playbook tailored to those inputs — designed to be opened, classified, and acted upon during a real incident.
The Executive Summary Word document is a one-page sign-off artifact for board / leadership. The detailed Excel workbook is the working operational instrument: classify severity, work through the 6 steps, populate the live incident log, dispatch the right communications template per severity tier, collect evidence, conduct the post-incident RCA, and track corrective actions to closure. Both are AI-assisted drafting aids intended to accelerate review by qualified incident-response, data-protection, and sector-regulatory practitioners.
