Certified Incident Handler (ECIH v3) — Question 48

Except for some common roles, the roles in an IRT are distinct for every organization. Which among the following is the role played by the Incident Coordinator of an IRT?

Answer options

• A. Links the appropriate technology to the incident to ensure that the foundation's offices are returned to normal operations as quickly as possible
• B. Links the groups that are affected by the incidents, such as legal, human resources, different business areas and management
• C. Applies the appropriate technology and tries to eradicate and recover from the incident
• D. Focuses on the incident and handles it from management and technical point of view

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Incident Coordinator's role is to facilitate communication between the various groups impacted by the incident, ensuring that all stakeholders are involved in the response process. Option A describes a task that may be done by a technical team member, while option C focuses on technical remediation rather than coordination. Option D implies a broader management role, which does not specifically align with the Coordinator's primary function of linking affected groups.
