Summary

Added FSIOPS06-BP02 on establishing generative AI incident response procedures.

Security assessment

Directly addresses security incident response for AI-specific threats including prompt injection attacks, model poisoning, and data leakage events. Specific evidence includes documented procedures for security events and prompt injection attacks.

+## FSIOPS06-BP02 Establish generative AI incident response procedures
+
+Create [specialized runbooks](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/methodology-for-incident-response-on-generative-ai-workloads/) for generative AI-related incidents including model failures, hallucination detection, inappropriate outputs, security events, bias detection incidents, data leakage events, prompt injection attacks, model poisoning attempts, and regulatory violations. 
+
+Define clear escalation paths and remediation procedures specific to AI/ML incidents and ensure integration with existing FSI regulatory reporting requirements. 
+
+**Prescriptive guidance**
+
+  * Document incident response procedures for common generative AI failures (like API throttling, model unavailability, and quality degradation). 
+
+  * Implement circuit breakers using AWS Lambda to automatically fail over to alternative models or fallback logic when performance thresholds are breached. 
+
+  * Create automated rollback mechanisms for prompt template updates that cause quality issues. 
+
+  * Establish a generative AI incident review board to assess model-related incidents and implement improvements. 
+
+  * Define acceptable degraded service levels during generative AI incidents with clear communication to affected business units and customers. 
+
+  * Create generative AI-specific incident response playbooks with automated escalation workflows and stakeholder notification procedures.
