Major Incident

An incident with significant business impact requiring coordinated resolution beyond normal incident management. Under DORA, a major ICT-related incident must be classified against 7 RTS criteria and reported within specific timeframes.

In ITSMx

ITSMx provides a war room for major incidents with timeline, stakeholder notifications, and auto-drafted PIR. When DORA is enabled, classification and cascade timers trigger automatically.
