building-soc-escalation-matrix

building-soc-escalation-matrix is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from autohandai/community-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,511 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of building-soc-escalation-matrix, Apache-2.0.

A guide to defining how a security operations team handles incidents at different severity levels, including who responds, when they respond, and who is notified.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps document SOC roles, severity tiers, response SLAs, notification rules, and paths from first-line analysts to senior responders.
Why use it?
It prevents uncertainty during incidents by making handoffs, response deadlines, and escalation routes explicit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

building-soc-escalation-matrix scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/agent.py, scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Building SOC Escalation Matrix

Overview

A SOC escalation matrix defines how security incidents move through the organization based on severity, impact, and response requirements. Modern SOCs use context-driven escalation combining business risk, asset criticality, and data sensitivity rather than purely severity-based models. Organizations using AI and automation in their SOC cut detection-and-containment lifecycle to approximately 161 days, an 80-day improvement over the 241-day industry average.

SOC Tier Structure

Tier 1 - Alert Triage Analyst

  • Monitors SIEM dashboards and alert queues
  • Performs initial alert classification (true/false positive)
  • Handles P3 and P4 incidents to resolution
  • Escalates P1 and P2 incidents to Tier 2 within SLA
  • Documents initial findings in ticketing system

Tier 2 - Incident Analyst

  • Performs deep-dive investigation on escalated incidents
  • Conducts root cause analysis and scoping
  • Executes containment procedures
  • Handles P2 incidents to resolution
  • Escalates P1 incidents to Tier 3 or management

Tier 3 - Senior Analyst / Threat Hunter

  • Handles P1 critical incidents and APT investigations
  • Performs proactive threat hunting
  • Develops detection rules and playbooks
  • Conducts malware reverse engineering
  • Leads incident response for major breaches

Management Escalation

  • SOC Manager: Operational decisions, resource allocation
  • CISO: Business impact decisions, executive communication
  • Legal/PR: Data breach notification, media response
  • External IR: Third-party incident response engagement

Severity Classification

P1 - Critical

Attribute Value
Impact Active data breach, ransomware spreading, critical systems compromised
Business Impact Revenue loss, regulatory exposure, customer data at risk
Initial Response 15 minutes
Escalation to Tier 2 Immediate
Escalation to Management 30 minutes
Resolution Target 4 hours
Communication Every 30 minutes to stakeholders
Examples Active ransomware, confirmed data exfiltration, domain admin compromise

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
