In Federal Agency Incident Reporting Categories, which category corresponds to Investigation?

• A. CAT 6
• B. CAT 5
• C. CAT 0
• D. CAT 1

Answer: (A)

This question tests how the incident reporting categories map to the level of response. Investigation requires a formal, structured inquiry with documentation, evidence collection, and potential remediation steps that go beyond routine handling. In this framework, that level of action is designated by CAT 6, making CAT 6 the category for Investigation. The higher-numbered categories indicate more intensive scrutiny and formal processes, so CAT 6 is used to ensure the proper resources and oversight are applied.
