MON-08Post-incident learning loop
Post-incident reviews feed corrective actions into the agent's evaluation set, behavior specification, and policies, closing the learning loop.
Post-incident reviews feed corrective actions back into the agent's evaluation set (SPC-07), behavior specification (SPC-01), and organizational policies, closing the learning loop. Without this feedback mechanism, the organization is condemned to repeat the same failures. Each incident should result in at least one new test case, policy update, or specification change.
Table MON-08.1 · Maturity criteria · v.1.3
L1 to L5 · the lowest level in scope caps the agentControls exist informally; documentation is incomplete; no consistent review.
Controls are written down; ownership is assigned; review cadence is defined.
Controls are followed in practice; evidence is collected; deviations are tracked.
Post-incident review process is documented; at least one incident (or drill) has resulted in updates to the evaluation set, specification, or policies; the feedback loop is demonstrable.
Control effectiveness is measured against documented thresholds; trends are reported.
Controls evolve based on incident learning; maturity gains are evidenced over time.
The v1.3 edition publishes a control-specific criterion at L3 (Operated). The other levels apply the general ladder to this control; see the maturity ladder.
Evidence an assessor asks for
- E.1
Post-incident review process is documented.
- E.2
At least one incident (or drill) has resulted in updates to the evaluation set, specification, or policies.
- E.3
The feedback loop is demonstrable.
