Security incidents reported by email or word of mouth lose critical details and slow response. A vague or late report weakens your investigation and your defenses. Typeform's security incident report template gives security and IT teams a consistent way to document every incident accurately.

The form captures incident type, time, location, people involved, and impact. The one-question-at-a-time format keeps reporters focused on each detail without distraction. Conditional logic adapts the form based on incident type—a data breach surfaces questions about affected systems, while a physical security incident captures location and witnesses.

Customize the incident types and severity levels to match your protocols, and add a file upload for evidence and screenshots. Share it on your intranet, by email, or as a direct link. Every report logs to your security system or Google Sheets via Zapier, timestamped and routed to the right team. Respond to incidents with a full record, not a half-remembered email.

Security Incident Report Form FAQs:

A security incident report form is a tool for documenting the details of a security event as it's discovered. It captures incident type, timing, people involved, and impact. It functions as both an investigation record and a compliance document.

Incidents reported informally lose detail and delay response. A structured form captures the facts immediately, in a consistent format. You investigate faster, identify patterns, and meet reporting obligations. That speed and structure limit the damage from every incident.

Capture every detail an investigation needs:

  • Date, time, and location of the incident
  • Incident type and severity
  • People and systems involved
  • Description of what happened
  • Immediate actions taken
  • Evidence, screenshots, or logs

Conditional logic branches the form based on the incident type selected. A data breach surfaces questions about affected systems and data, while a physical incident captures location, witnesses, and access points. Reporters answer only what's relevant, and you get a complete, structured record for every kind of incident.

Yes—Typeform's file upload field lets reporters attach screenshots, logs, and photos directly to the report. Accepted files include images, PDFs, and documents up to 10MB each. The evidence arrives with the report, so your team investigates with the full picture from the start. File upload is available on paid Typeform plans.
