The speed of response should be set as part of the function's agreed operating policy, however the working arrangements should allow for emergency situations where action to resolve a problem needs to take priority over all other normal work.

From the preceding discussion it is clear that any organisation connected to Janet must have at least a basic response capability to deal with security incidents as required by its Janet contract.

This extended capability is likely to involve people and groups beyond the basic security incident response group, some of whom may be located in a different part of the management structure.
