Weekly security triage without the high-priority alerts that sit in Slack.
Most security teams pull alerts weekly but the high-priority items get discussed in Slack threads instead of tracked. This template categorizes alerts with action plans and Security Lead notification before the week ends.
For security analyst and soc analyst teams running weekly security alert triage. No credit card. First run in under a minute.

Opinion
What we cut. And what we kept.
This template is action-focused, not alert-focused. Alert-focused is why triage becomes a dashboard review instead of response planning.
Cut
- Alert review where high-priority items are mentioned but not assigned.
- Categorization without action plans.
- Security Lead notification via Slack DM.
- Triage that happens only when there's time.
Kept
- Alerts pulled from SIEM, EDR, IDS/IPS, and cloud posture.
- Categorization tied to SOC playbook.
- Action plan required for high-priority alerts.
- Security Lead notified with priority list and next steps.

Why teams use this template
Weekly security cadence: pull alerts from SIEM, EDR, IDS/IPS and cloud posture, categorize, and plan response for high-priority items. When this work runs through inboxes and ad-hoc spreadsheets, ownership gets fuzzy and evidence gets lost. Weekly Security Alert Triage gives you a 4-step process with 1 checkpoint so nothing slips between handoffs.
Built for teams led by Security Analyst and SOC Analyst: every task has a named owner, every approval routes to a real role, and the run history is the audit trail your auditors actually want.
The checkpoint tasks ("Assign top priority + action plan") cannot be skipped, they're where the run produces evidence the next stage depends on. You start with structure instead of building it from scratch every time.
