Incident Report
An incident report is a written record of an event, observation, response, or condition that a security team documents for client awareness, review, escalation, or future risk control.

Denver Security Review perspective
Incident Report should be understood as part of a larger review picture: scope, authority, documentation, confidentiality, communication, and operational follow-through.
For businesses comparing providers, the practical test is whether the provider can explain how the term works in real assignments, show repeatable procedures, and produce records that a decision maker can trust.
