Closing an information security incident is not the same as learning from it. This article explains how EASA Part-IS (IS.I.OR.220) uses lessons learned to strengthen the ISMS, improve incident response, and connect information security with aviation safety through a practical flight operations scenario.

Containing an incident isn't the finish line. A manipulated navigation database can still let an aircraft appear to work perfectly — which is exactly why "available" and "safe" are not the same thing. Recovery under EASA Part-IS is the discipline in between: finding the real cause before removing the file, restoring systems to a state that is both safe and secure, and verifying it before anything returns to service.
