### Streamline threat hunting operations with structured hypothesis documentation

Effective threat hunting requires methodical documentation of hypotheses, data sources, hunt procedures, and actionable findings. This **Threat Hunting Hypothesis Documentation Form** gives security operations centers (SOC), threat intelligence teams, and security analysts a standardised framework to capture every element of a threat hunt—from initial hypothesis to final recommendations.

Built for **cybersecurity professionals, IT security teams, and incident response specialists**, this template helps you maintain consistent documentation across all hunting activities, ensuring knowledge transfer, audit readiness, and continuous improvement of your security posture.

#### Why this template works for security operations

Traditional threat hunting often suffers from inconsistent documentation, making it difficult to track what's been investigated, share findings across teams, or prove due diligence during audits. This Paperform template centralises your threat hunting workflow in one intelligent form that:

 - **Captures structured hypotheses** based on threat intelligence, TTPs, or environmental indicators
 - **Documents data source requirements** including logs, telemetry, and detection tools needed
 - **Records hunt methodology** step-by-step for repeatability and knowledge sharing
 - **Standardises findings documentation** with severity ratings, IOCs, and remediation steps
 - **Generates audit trails** automatically with timestamps and analyst attribution

The form uses conditional logic to adapt based on your hunt type and findings severity, ensuring you capture the right level of detail without overwhelming analysts with unnecessary fields.

#### Perfect for SOC teams and security professionals

Whether you're running proactive threat hunts, investigating suspicious activity, or conducting scheduled security audits, this template supports your entire workflow. Use it to document:

 - **Hypothesis-driven hunts** based on emerging threats or intelligence feeds
 - **Baseline deviation hunts** looking for anomalies in normal behaviour patterns
 - **TTP-based hunts** targeting specific adversary techniques from MITRE ATT&CK
 - **Scheduled compliance hunts** required for regulatory or audit purposes

After submission, connect this form to your security orchestration platform using **Stepper** (stepper.io) to automatically create tickets in your SIEM, notify relevant teams via Slack, update your threat intelligence platform, or trigger containment workflows based on findings severity.

#### SOC 2 compliant and built for security teams

Paperform is **SOC 2 Type II compliant** and trusted by security-conscious organisations worldwide. Your threat hunting documentation is encrypted at rest and in transit, with role-based access controls ensuring only authorised analysts can view sensitive hunting data. Export findings for executive reporting, integrate with your existing security stack via webhooks and Stepper workflows, and maintain complete audit trails of all hunting activities.

Start documenting your threat hunts with the professional structure your security operations deserve.
