Of particular interest is the fact that an Incident Response Plan (IRP) is not created by a single individual as it requires the inputs and contributions from a range of organizational experts.However, orchestrating the efforts of a group of experts to produce a comprehensive IRP in a short time-frame can be a challenge. Despite IRP being an essential ingredient in conjuring security planning procedures in organizations, extensive literature reviews have revealed that there are no collaborative processes in place for such a crucial activity. This is where the contribution of this study is apparent. This study proposes a design for a facilitated incident response planning process using technology such as group support systems (GSS). Three sessions were conducted and an analysis of the sessions revealed that the facilitated IRP process design held up strongly in terms of goal attainment and session participant satisfaction. Future research implications entail devising an all-encompassing integrative general approach that would be applicable to any form of corporate security development planning process.enincident response planning, contingency planning, collaboration engineering, group support systemsArticle
