# Your role during the investigation
<a name="your-role-during-investigation"></a>

 While AWS Security Incident Response engineers lead the investigation, your participation is essential. You're responsible for the following actions: 
+ Providing timely responses to information requests
+ Implementing recommended containment and remediation actions in your AWS environment
+ Authorizing Security Incident Response engineers to take actions on your behalf (if you enabled proactive response)
+ Coordinating with your internal teams (security, legal, compliance) as needed
+ Making business decisions about incident response priorities and trade-offs

 AWS Security Incident Response engineers provide expertise and recommendations, but you maintain control over your AWS resources and make final decisions about response actions.
