01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A request from a security teammate to review a specific analysis job

“Confirm the intended job, gather its available status and result details, and present them with enough context for an analyst to assess.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a security team find and review the details of an analysis job without treating automated findings as a final incident decision.

  1. Confirm which analysis job to review

    Check the supplied job reference and related case context so the right analysis is looked up.

  2. Check whether results are ready

    Make the available job status clear and avoid presenting a pending or unavailable result as complete.

  3. Gather the available job details

    Collect the status and result information available for the requested job without adding unsupported conclusions.

  4. Keep findings with their context

    Show the related case or subject information needed for an analyst to understand where the result came from.

  5. Have an analyst interpret the findings

    Ask a qualified reviewer to validate important results and assess possible false positives or missing context.

  6. Record the decision and next step

    Keep the analyst’s assessment and any assigned follow-up visible to the response team.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A concise view of the available analysis status and findings, or a clear note that the job or its results are not yet available.

The handoff

A concise view of the available analysis status and findings, or a clear note that the job or its results are not yet available.

Keep in mind

Analysis results can be incomplete, delayed, or incorrect. Have a qualified analyst verify important findings and decide whether any investigation, containment, or other operational action is appropriate.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose which analysis details to show

Select the job status and result context analysts need while limiting unrelated or sensitive information.

Set analyst access and ownership

Restrict results to authorized security staff and identify who reviews findings and open questions.

Define interpretation boundaries

Document that an analysis result is supporting information, not authorization for containment or other incident action.

Test pending, complete, and unavailable jobs

Check how the team sees a running analysis, a finished result, and a job whose details cannot be retrieved.
