Keep stakeholders informed during recovery
Build status updates from recovery progress rather than chasing each team for a summary. AI agents can draft customer and public messages from approved facts for communications and legal review.
Tools for incident recovery communication
MCP servers for the tools used in these examples.
Automation examples and starter prompts
Paste a prompt into Claude Code, Microsoft Copilot, or Codex connected to Tracecat MCP. Adapt it to your tools and test before deployment. Human tool approvals and advanced case features require Enterprise.
Post scheduled incident recovery updates
Build me a recovery communication automation in Tracecat. While recovery runs, post a status update on a fixed cadence built from the case task board: what is restored, what is in progress, and the next expected milestone. Send the internal version to Slack and Teams, and keep a tighter executive version that goes out when milestones complete rather than on the clock. First help me understand how this maps to RC.CO-03 and why a steady drumbeat stops the side-channel rumor mill during recovery. Ask me which audiences need which level of detail. Talk me through cadence: too frequent numbs people, too sparse breeds panic.
Coordinate approved public updates
Build me a public communication workflow in Tracecat. During recovery, have an AI agent draft public status updates using only facts marked approved on the case, in our public messaging style from Notion templates. Route every draft through comms and legal approval in Slack, record who approved each release, and publish only through the approved channel. First help me understand how this maps to RC.CO-04 and why public messaging discipline during recovery protects both customers and counsel. Ask me who holds approval authority and what our approved channels are. Talk me through what the agent must never include, like unconfirmed root cause or blame.
Keep affected customers informed
Build me a customer communication workflow in Tracecat. Maintain the list of customers affected by the incident as a case table, tier them by impact, and have an AI agent draft per-tier recovery updates in Gmail that stay consistent with the internal status and the public statement. Hold sends for approval and log every message per customer for the post-incident record. First help me understand how this maps to RC.CO-03 and why customer updates must never contradict the public line. Ask me how we identify which customers were affected. Talk me through update frequency for heavily impacted versus lightly impacted customers.
NIST CSF 2.0 mapping: RC.CO
Official NIST category: Incident Recovery Communication. Restoration activities are coordinated with internal and external parties
The controls and implementation examples below are NIST source material. The automation prompts above are Tracecat-authored starting points, not evidence of compliance or full control coverage.
- RC.CO-03IR-4IR-6SR-8
Recovery activities and progress in restoring operational capabilities are communicated to designated internal and external stakeholders
- Securely share recovery information, including restoration progress, consistent with response plans and information sharing agreements
- Regularly update senior leadership on recovery status and restoration progress for major incidents
- Follow the rules and protocols defined in contracts for incident information sharing between the organization and its suppliers
- Coordinate crisis communication between the organization and its critical suppliers
- RC.CO-04CP-2IR-4
Public updates on incident recovery are shared using approved methods and messaging
- Follow the organization's breach notification procedures for recovering from a data breach incident
- Explain the steps being taken to recover from the incident and to prevent a recurrence
