Cybersecurity Incident Report Request Form

When a cybersecurity incident occurs, thorough documentation and rapid information gathering are critical for effective remediation, compliance and future prevention. This Cybersecurity Incident Report Request Form streamlines the process for IT auditors, compliance officers and security teams to formally request incident documentation, forensic analysis records and system impact details from relevant stakeholders.

Built with Paperform, this template provides a structured approach to incident documentation requests. The form captures essential details including incident timelines, affected systems and infrastructure, the type and severity of the breach, and specific forensic materials needed for investigation. Conditional logic ensures auditors only see relevant follow-up questions based on incident type and scope, making the request process efficient and comprehensive.

This form is ideal for IT professionals, cybersecurity teams, compliance officers, risk managers and external auditors who need to gather incident intelligence quickly and systematically. Whether you're conducting post-incident reviews, preparing compliance reports, or supporting legal investigations, this template ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

Beyond simple data collection, you can extend this form's power through Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically route requests to the right technical teams, create follow-up tasks in your project management system, log incidents in your SIEM or GRC platform, and trigger notification workflows based on severity level. For organizations requiring formal sign-offs on incident reports, Papersign (papersign.com) can be used to collect authenticated signatures on final documentation.

Trusted by security-conscious organizations worldwide, Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and offers the enterprise-grade security features IT audit teams require, while remaining simple enough for any team member to use without technical training.
