The Insider Risk Resolution Decision Tree is a structured framework used to evaluate and respond to insider incidents by determining intent, impact, and appropriate action. It guides organizations through key questions such as whether an incident was intentional or accidental, what motives may exist, and whether policies or laws were violated. For malicious cases, it examines signs of concealment, reconnaissance, and attempts to bypass controls. For non‑malicious incidents, the focus shifts to training gaps, reporting failures, and common behavior patterns. The framework emphasizes proportional responses, encouraging remediation and education for unintentional actions while supporting thorough investigation and escalation for deliberate misconduct.
