What actions will be taken if an Alarm Custodian refuses to provide security for their resources during a Catastrophic Alarm Failure?

• A. Immediate escalation to higher authorities
• B. It will be documented in the SF Blotter
• C. Resource access is denied until they comply
• D. A formal warning is issued

Answer: (B)

When a security incident happens, keeping a precise, auditable record is the first priority. If an Alarm Custodian refuses to provide security for resources during a Catastrophic Alarm Failure, the correct step is to document the incident in the SF Blotter. This creates a formal, time-stamped record of the refusal, the resources involved, and the immediate circumstances. That documentation is essential for accountability, future investigation, and ensuring that all follow-up actions are justified and traceable. Beyond this, escalation, denying access, or issuing a formal warning may occur as part of the broader incident response, but they rely on that initial documented record to be properly justified and tracked. Thus, recording the incident in the SF Blotter is the foundational action.
