Mean Time to Acknowledge

Time

Assesses the average time taken for a team to acknowledge an incident after detection. This metric indicates the team's readiness and promptness in initiating a response to incidents.

Formula

(Total Time Taken to Acknowledge All Incidents / Total Number of Incidents)

Example

For 5 incidents acknowledged in 50 minutes, the mean time to acknowledge is 50/5 = 10 minutes per incident.
