Do I need an incident response plan as a solo founder?

Updated
Short answer

Yes — minimal version (severity matrix + on-call contact + breach-notification template). SOC 2 + GDPR Article 33 require it. Templates make it quick.

Even one-person companies need a basic IR plan. SOC 2 audit requires it; GDPR Article 33 mandates 72-hour breach notification.

Use /templates/incident-response-runbook (12-section template) + /templates/breach-notification (customer letter template). Adapt + post in your team channel.
