Episode 27 — Clarify Roles and Responsibilities: SOC, IT, Legal, and Business Alignment (Task 20)
This episode explains role clarity as a core operational control, because unclear responsibilities create delays, evidence gaps, and inconsistent decisions during incidents. You will learn how SOC, IT operations, legal, privacy, and business stakeholders typically interact, and how responsibility differs from authority in containment and notification decisions. We will explore common friction points, such as who owns endpoint isolation, who approves disabling accounts, who determines regulatory notification thresholds, and who communicates with customers or executives. You will also hear scenarios where the technically “right” action is wrong without the right approvals, and how to structure handoffs so they are traceable and audit-ready. For the exam, you will practice selecting the most appropriate team, escalation step, or documentation artifact that proves alignment and accountability.
