Incident → Receipt — the full triage flow

Updated May 12, 2026 7 views 0 found this helpful

When PowerSEC raises an incident, you can go from alert to closed receipt without leaving the platform. Here is the canonical flow.

1. Receive the alert

[PowerSEC] Critical: malware found on site acme.com
  Files: 2  ·  Score: 92  ·  Detected: 14:02 UTC
  → https://app.powersec.io/i/INC-4421

2. Open the incident — see the evidence

The incident page shows the matched signatures, the file paths, the snippet that triggered the rule, and a recommended action. PowerSEC AI has already drafted a triage plan.

3. Run the safe action

# Quarantine the offending files (reversible) — no manual SSH needed.
Action: "Quarantine 2 files"  →  Confirm

4. Verify with a fresh scan

Action: "Re-scan now"  →  Wait ~60s
Result: 0 matches  ✓

5. Close with a receipt

The receipt records: who acted, what was changed, the before/after hash of every touched file, and the rule version that detected the original issue. Keep it for compliance — every action is signed and tamper-evident.
