Part VI: Respond

The Respond Function manages, reports and mitigates incidents under legal deadlines, with AI as helper, subject and adversary.

Chapter 20 applies AI to incident management and analysis, including incidents in which an AI system is the subject (RS.MA, RS.AN). Chapter 21 covers reporting across NIS 2, DORA and the AI Act and containment at machine speed within the autonomy levels (RS.CO, RS.MI).

What you will learn in this part:

• How one incident meets every reporting obligation on time
• Which mitigation actions AI may take, and at which autonomy level

Restoring operations after containment is the subject of Part VII.
