Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
A single-type Incident Response Team (IRT), as defined in ISO/IEC 27035-1:2016, is responsible for managing and coordinating incident response within a specific organization or business unit. Its scope typically covers the entire lifecycle of incident handling—preparation, detection, containment, response, recovery, and lessons learned—focused solely on the needs of that particular entity.
This contrasts with a coordinating or multi-party IRT, which may support multiple organizations or coordinate between units. While Option A is a byproduct of a well-functioning IRT, it is not its core function. Option B (monitoring) may fall under a SOC, but not the primary function of a single IRT.
