About this file
This is an Incident Management Plan procedure document (IM-01) prepared by the Office of Management and Information Services (OMIS) for the West Virginia Immunization Information System (IIS) contract opportunity. The document outlines the operational procedures and protocols for managing incidents within the OMIS system infrastructure. The plan establishes the framework for incident identification, classification, response procedures, and escalation processes to maintain system availability and performance for the immunization information system. The procedure includes defined roles and responsibilities for incident management personnel, communication protocols for notifying stakeholders of system issues, and timelines for incident resolution based on severity levels.
The Incident Management Plan procedure establishes severity-based response requirements and prioritization criteria for system incidents affecting the immunization database operations. The document defines procedures for incident logging, tracking, and documentation to ensure accountability and continuous improvement of system reliability. It includes provisions for post-incident review processes and corrective action implementation to prevent recurrence of identified issues. The plan emphasizes coordination between OMIS technical staff and IIS stakeholders to ensure rapid restoration of system functionality and minimize disruption to immunization program operations and data integrity.

State of West Virginia Departments of Health, Health Facilities, and Human Services
Office of Shared Administration Office of Management Information Services OMIS Procedure
IM-01 – Incident Management Plan
Revised: January 26, 2026
Overview
The mandate for this Incident Management Plan comes from section 3.4.9 of #OP-30 Incident Reporting and Response, which states that, "The OMIS ISO will collaborate and cooperate with federal, state, and local authorities, and with WVOT to implement an incident management plan and to expedite mitigation strategies."
This plan is a starting point for the Incident Response Team and the Departments’ subject matter experts (SMEs) to ensure the following:
● A rapid and coordinated response when significant operational disruptions occur, so that continuity strategies can be invoked quickly and effectively.
● Specific key stakeholders are fully always informed of the situation.
● Business continuity and recovery efforts are coordinated across Departments, the WVOT, and applicable system owners.
The plan will enable the efficient and effective management of Information Security and Privacy incidents by establishing a structure for the reporting and management of such incidents. It will help to determine what steps should be taken to make certain that once identified, the incident has been reported, documented, analyzed, contained, eradicated, thoroughly investigated, all systems are recovered, and normal business is restored. After these steps occur, the Incident Response Team and all other SMEs will meet to review and assess any damage.
The plan is the initial part of a greater response environment documented by the notebook it is part of.
When an incident occurs, begin with the plan, then incorporate the tools, policies, and procedures in the notebook in response to the incident.

IM-01 – Incident Management Plan
Revised: January 26, 2026
When using documents in the notebook, especially (1) the Post Incident Response Assessment, (2) the
Risk of Compromise Assessment (ROCA) – HIPAA, (3) the Risk of Harm Assessment (ROHA) – Non-HIPAA, and (4) the Incident Response Event Checklist, be sure to download the latest versions of these documents from the WV State Privacy Office website. These documents can be found online at https://brim.wv.gov/privacy/Pages/default.aspx.
The best way to deal with an incident is to be prepared before it happens. This plan requires the
Incident Response Team meet at least once a year and walk through a sample incident. A good way to start this process is to pull an incident scenario out of a hat and follow it from beginning to end.
This plan is a living document. As new technologies emerge, the members of the Incident Response
Team are encouraged to update the plan as needed to fit current scenarios. New technologies might include advances in hardware, software, external threats from hackers, etc. If this plan sits still, it will not meet these new challenges.
Outline of the Plan
Before the Incident
1. Maintain a WV Departments of Health (DH), Health Facilities (DHF), Human Services (DoHS), and Office of Shared Administration (OSA) Incident Response Team. Current members will include, but may not be limited to the following:
a. OSA Chief Information Officer or a designee
b. OSA OMIS Director of Operations
c. State Privacy Office, as necessary
d. OMIS Database Administrators, as necessary
e. OMIS Information Security Officer
f. WVOT Security Operations Center & Forensic Investigating Team
OMIS Incident Management Plan – v.2.4 - Page 2 of 20 https://brim.wv.gov/privacy/Pages/default.aspx
Office of Shared Administration
g. Relevant contractors
h. DoH, DHF, and DoHS Legal representatives
2. Meet at least every 365 days to test the effectiveness of the incident response capability for the applicable system using the following tests:
a. Conduct a mock incident and practice response protocols (i.e., tabletop exercises).
b. Use qualitative and quantitative data from testing to:
▪ Determine the effectiveness of incident response processes;
▪ Continuously improve incident response processes; and
▪ Provide accurate and consistent incident response measures and metrics in a reproducible format.
c. Review annually and update (as needed) the Incident Management Plan.
3. Create a Contact List
a. Management is responsible for creating a list of those who should be notified when a suspected or confirmed breach or incident occurs. The list should specify required as well as optional contacts. The list will contain multiple phone numbers, emails, or other methods of contacting each individual or entity, and will include what to do if a person or entity cannot be reached, how often to retry, and what backup plan may exist.
i. The Incident Response manager should be the central point of all communication and only those with a valid need-to-know should be included in communications regarding key incident details, indicators of compromise, adversary tactics, and procedures.
b. The team will update DH, DHF, DoHS, and OSA leadership and stakeholders on the status of an incident as it is being resolved: The incident response preparedness plan must include instructions on how the team will provide feedback and updates to organization and data stakeholders. A designated member of the team will distribute updates no later than once every hour. This will be in a form (e.g., email, text, phone, etc.) agreed
OMIS Incident Management Plan – v.2.4 - Page 3 of 20
Office of Shared Administration upon by all team members. The designated team member should be prepared to receive feedback from leadership and stakeholders and respond to each update. All individuals will follow this communications model so that the incident response team is not overrun by update requests, enabling them to concentrate on investigating the incident.
4. Conduct a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) on new or updated systems or software. The PIA is available from the WV State Privacy Office.
5. Periodically conduct a risk analysis, according to section 3.29 of OMIS #0512: Information
Security Policy.

Determine if it is necessary to distribute a press release. Refer to section 46A-2A-101 of the West
Virginia Code and section 13402(e)(2) of the HITECH Act below.
Section 46A-2A-101 of the West Virginia Code
According to section 46A-2A-101 of the West Virginia Code, the Agencies can provide notice of the incident by letter, telephone call, or electronic means (if consistent with the Electronic Signatures in
Global and National Commerce Act). Alternatively, a substitute method of notice, such as a press release, can be used in the following situations:
● The cost of providing the notice will exceed $50,000.
● The group of residents to be notified exceeds 100,000 people.
● The Agency does not have sufficient contact information to reach the people.
● At the discretion of the Cabinet Secretary.
Section 13402(e)(2) through 13402(e)(4) of the HITECH Act According to Section 13402(e)(2), “Notice shall be provided to prominent media outlets serving a State or jurisdiction, following the discovery of a breach . . . if the unsecured protected health information of more than 500 residents of such State or jurisdiction is, or is reasonably believed to have been, accessed, acquired, or disclosed during such breach.” In other words, if the PHI of more than 500 West
Virginia citizens has been disclosed, a press release is required.
Also, note that section 13402(e)(3) requires the Agency to notify the Secretary of the U.S.
Department of Health & Human Services if a PHI breach of data of more than 500 individuals has
