  • Track and document incident timelines, sequence of events, operator actions, and response measures.
  • Perform root cause analysis of high-priority security breaches (e.g., tower break-ins, copper theft, fibre cuts).
  • Maintain incident registers and escalate recurring or suspicious patterns for further investigation.
  • Analyze and correlate incidents across geographic regions to identify coordinated or syndicated activity.
  • Generate daily, weekly, and monthly intelligence summaries with performance metrics (e.g., average response time, incident frequency by site type).
  • Support senior management with real-time dashboards and post-incident reviews.
  • Develop structured reports and evidence packs to support insurance claims, disciplinary processes, and law enforcement submissions.
  • Flag false alarms, data discrepancies, and procedural gaps affecting reporting accuracy.
  • Contribute to the design of incident classification systems and escalation protocols in coordination with governance teams.
