# Respond

### Communications (RS.CO)

NIST Definition: *Response activities are coordinated with internal and external stakeholders (e.g. external support from law enforcement agencies).*

| **Section**                                                                                                 | **How Dispel Helps**                                                                                                                     |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <p><strong>RS.CO-4</strong></p><p>Coordination with stakeholders occurs consistent with response plans.</p> | Dispel facilitates simple and easy communication and can provide off channel network for coordination among internal and external teams. |

### Analysis (RS.AN)

NIST Definition: *Analysis is conducted to ensure effective response and support recovery activities.*

| **Section**                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               | **How Dispel Helps**                                                                                 |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <p><strong>RS.AN-3</strong> </p><p>Forensics are performed.</p>                                                                                                                                                                                           | For third-parties performing forensics, Dispel aids in providing secure access.                      |
| <p><strong>RS.AN-5</strong></p><p>Processes are established to receive, analyze and respond to vulnerabilities disclosed to the organization from internal and external sources (e.g. internal testing, security bulletins, or security researchers).</p> | Dispel aids in providing secure system access for testing, whether for internal or external testers. |

### Mitigation (RS.MI)

NIST Definition: *Activities are performed to prevent expansion of an event, mitigate its effects, and resolve the incident.*

| **Section**                                                    | **How Dispel Helps**                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| -------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <p><strong>RS.MI-1</strong></p><p>Incidents are contained.</p> | Dispel’s ability to segment and limit access can significantly reduce blast radius of an incident, and ability to quickly remove access and/or cycle the system can reduce impact of an incident.                                                                                 |
| <p><strong>RS.MI-2</strong></p><p>Incidents are mitigated.</p> | Dispel's network can be refreshed or deployed in matter of seconds or minutes, significantly increasing resiliency of organization and limiting business impacts. Components of new network are built from golden images in new location and data center, in a clean environment. |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.dispel.com/regulatory-framework-mappings/nist-csf-1.1/respond.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
