Insider Risk Alert Triage Procedure

Advisory operating guidance for insider risk alert triage within corporate insider risk management contexts.

Procedure Definition

This procedure explains how insider risk alerts can be reviewed, enriched, categorized, and escalated at a repeatable educational level.

When to Use This Procedure

Use when alerts or referrals require consistent review before escalation, closure, or routing to investigation.

Why It Matters for Exposure

Triage prevents overreaction and underreaction. It helps teams add context, check policy relevance, assess potential harm, and decide whether escalation is appropriate.

Advisory parameters protect employee trust and organizational safety without introducing automated configuration noise.
