The
Compliance Finding
and theVulnerability Finding
classes omit theimpact_id
and related attributes.The
Incident Finding
Detection Finding
andData Security Finding
classes include theimpact_id
and related attributes.The
Incident
profile, extracted from theIncident Finding
attributes omits theimpact_id
and related attributes.Impact seems to be an incident level attribute, even though it is also a finding level attribute in 3 of the finding classes. The
Incident
profile should includeimpact
so that when used with any of the non-Incident Finding
classes it is brought in.profile=null
adjustments should be added to protect the existing attributes in the classes that already include theincident_id
and related attributes.Finally, the descriptions of 'Low
'Medium
High
Critical
are missing; they can be added to reflect the NIST definitions for 3 of the 4 (noCritical
defined by NIST). NIST defines impact in context of CIA values which we don't explicitly include (and maybe should).Critical
verbage arguably isn't correct: is the impact high? or is the impact critical (e.g. a physical impact can be high, acceleration or velocity based impact, but it can't be critical). We could defineCritical
impact to be scope-based rather than magnitude-based, e.g. Widespread scope of aHigh
impact incident (or finding).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
