Manual incident response plans are compliance theater that fail when production is on fire. Using GitHub Actions, teams can automate the full incident response lifecycle: real-time detection of authentication anomalies and deployment failures, automatic rollback via Git, structured incident tickets with ISO 27001 control mappings, Slack/PagerDuty notifications, and immutable audit trails. The post walks through concrete workflow YAML for querying Application Insights for auth anomalies, triggering auto-rollbacks on failed deploys, and generating postmortem templates as GitHub Issues. It also covers how this approach satisfies ISO 27001 A.16 evidence requirements and how to test incident response via workflow_dispatch simulations before real incidents occur.
