+# Incident Response Plan
+
+## Purpose & Role  
+
+This plan outlines how the OpenJS Foundation facilitates and coordinates responses to security incidents affecting supported projects.  
+
+The Foundation acts as a **facilitator and coordinator**, not as the primary incident responder. Our focus is to unblock projects and reduce risk by:
+
+- Connecting the right people and resources  
+- Coordinating communication between affected parties  
+- Providing guidance on best practices and mitigation strategies  
+- Facilitating access to subject matter experts  
+- Ensuring incidents follow responsible disclosure timelines  
+
+**We do not:**  
+- Directly fix code vulnerabilities  
+- Manage individual project security  
+- Serve as the first responder for project-level technical issues  
+
+This approach respects project autonomy while leveraging the Foundation’s position in the ecosystem to resolve incidents efficiently.  
+
+---
+
+## Scope & Incident Categories  
+
+This plan applies to incidents such as:  
+- **Platform or provider security issues** (e.g., authentication compromise, unexpected data exposure, outages affecting security controls)  
+- **Account or registry access issues** (e.g., npm lockdown, GitHub MFA lockout, compromised maintainer account)  
+- **Supply chain attacks** (e.g., malicious package versions, phishing campaigns, dependency compromises)  
+- **Legal or operational threats** (e.g., license disputes, patent challenges, DMCA takedowns, trademark misuse)  
+
+**Out of Scope:**  
+- Code-level vulnerabilities in Foundation projects (handled by the project or OpenJS CNA Team)  
+- Non-Foundation projects — see [supported projects list](https://openjsf.org/projects)  
+
+🍿 @Discussion: Probably we can think on more scenarios together  
+
+| Category | Examples | Primary Response Role |
+|----------|----------|-----------------------|
+| **Vulnerability Report** | Code exploit, CVE disputes, escalations | Redirect to project / CNA Team |
+| **Platform Security Issue** | Authentication compromise, data exposure, outages | Triage → Escalate to platform → Mitigation guidance |
+| **Account Access Issue** | npm account lockout, GitHub MFA | Triage → Work with provider → Temporary mitigation |
+| **Supply Chain Attack** | Malicious dependency release | Coordinate with affected projects → Security advisories |
+| **External Provider Incident** | Cloud/service compromise | Facilitate communication between maintainers & provider |

+
+### Reporter  
+Submits an incident report to the Foundation Security Team.  
+
+**Responsibilities & Expectations**  
+- Provide detailed incident information  
+- Follow responsible disclosure guidelines  
+- Cooperate by supplying clarifications when needed  
+- Respect embargo and disclosure timelines  
+
+---
+
+### Coordinator (SRC)  
+Focal point for each incident. Ensures process is followed and manages communications.  
+
+**Responsibilities**  
+- Acknowledge reports promptly  
+- Manage embargo and limit information sharing  
+- Assign SMEs as needed  
+- Keep reporter and affected projects updated  
+- Track all incidents for reporting and visibility  
+
+---
+
+### Subject Matter Expert (SME)  
+Provides technical, legal, or domain-specific expertise.  
+
+**Responsibilities**  
+- Help assess impact and options  
+- Recommend mitigation strategies  
+- Assist in unblocking projects when feasible  
+
+---
+
+## Reporting Method  
+
+Submit incidents through the [OpenJS Security Incident Webform](https://report-incident.openjsf.org/).  
+
+---
+
+## Response Workflow  
+
+🍿 @Discussion: early-stage idea, based on the Runbook  
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A[Incident Report Received] --> B[Assign Coordinator]
+    B --> C{Valid and verifiable?}
+    C -- No --> D[Request Clarification from Reporter]
+    D --> C
+    C -- Yes --> E[Assess Impact and Severity]
+    E --> F{Single Project or Multi-Project?}
+    F -- Single --> G[Engage Project Maintainers]
+    F -- Multi --> H[Engage Multiple Maintainers + Foundation Network]
+    G --> I[Coordinate Response: Bring SMEs...]
+    H --> I
+    I --> J[Update Reporter and Stakeholders]
+    J --> K[Document and Close Incident]
+```
+
+### Runbook (Step Summary)
+
+1. **Incident Report Received**  
+2. **Assign Coordinator** and consolidate details  
+3. **Review Severity** and affected projects  
+4. **Identify SMEs** and brief them  
+5. **Coordinate** with projects, platforms, or third parties  
+6. **Document** findings and lessons learned  
+7. **Publish** summary (if appropriate)  
+8. **Social Media Team** posts updates if needed
