Cybersecurity Incident Report Form

Professional Cybersecurity Incident Reporting for IT Teams

When a security incident occurs, every minute counts. This Cybersecurity Incident Report Form gives IT teams and security professionals a structured, efficient way to document threats, classify incident severity, inventory affected systems, and automatically notify your CISO—all from a single, professional form built in Paperform.

Built for IT security workflows

Designed for IT departments, managed service providers, security operations centers, and any organization that needs to respond quickly to security events, this template helps you:

• Classify threats accurately with predefined incident types (malware, phishing, data breach, unauthorized access, DDoS and more)
• Document timelines to establish when incidents were detected, contained and resolved
• Track affected systems with detailed inventory fields for servers, workstations, applications and data
• Trigger automatic notifications to your CISO, security team or incident response coordinator via email or Stepper workflows
• Maintain compliance with audit trails and structured reporting required by frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST and GDPR

Streamline incident response with Paperform + Stepper

This form is more than just data collection—it's the starting point for your entire incident response workflow. When a cybersecurity incident is reported through Paperform, you can use Stepper to automatically:

• Route high-severity incidents directly to your CISO or security lead
• Create tickets in your IT service management platform (ServiceNow, Jira, Freshservice)
• Log incidents to your SIEM or security documentation system
• Notify the incident response team via Slack, Microsoft Teams or email
• Trigger containment checklists and remediation workflows based on threat type

By connecting Paperform to Stepper or your existing integrations (Zapier, Make, webhooks), you turn incident reporting from a bottleneck into a fast, automated process that keeps your team coordinated and your leadership informed.

Trusted security and compliance

Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant, with enterprise-grade security features including SSO, role-based permissions, data residency controls and a dedicated Trust Center. Your incident reports are captured securely, with full audit trails and the encryption standards your security team requires.

Whether you're an IT manager, security analyst, systems administrator or CISO, this template gives you a professional, no-code solution for incident documentation that integrates seamlessly into your existing security stack.
