   A large enterprise uses XSIAM to handle incidents from multiple business units. Each business unit has different compliance requirements: Unit A needs to see PCI-related fields, Unit B needs HIPAA-related fields, and Unit C needs both. The team wants to minimize the number of layouts while ensuring each unit sees only the fields relevant to its compliance needs. What is the most efficient approach?

   • ACreate a single incident type with a layout that includes all PCI and HIPAA fields for all units.
   • BCreate three incident types (one per unit) and assign a custom layout to each, with Unit C's layout including both PCI and HIPAA fields.
   • CCreate a separate incident type for each compliance requirement (PCI, HIPAA, both) and assign layouts accordingly.
