Incident response needs a community that has several well developed criteria for even one organisation to successfully operate.  These features are:

  1.  A mechanism to safely share data with trusted contacts in all sectors.  TF-CSIRT supplies this through its “trusted introducer” approach so that information shared on mailing lists and at meetings is with verified teams from all industries and sectors.  
  2. A way to safely verify information about teams you wish to contact.  The detailed TI database has a public and a private view supporting communication at a variety of levels depending on the criticality of the data. 
  3. Guarantees that contact information is up to date and usable.  TF-CSIRT runs three “reaction” tests a year to ensure that team contact data is correct, that teams have up to date TI certificates in place and that teams are shown to be responsive. 
  4. The ability to train and mentor staff.  TF-CSIRT runs the successful TRANSITS training courses three times a year and makes the materials available to anyone with an interest under a Creative Commons license.  New teams and first time attendees are assigned a mentor at TF-CSIRT meetings. 

More specifically in 2021, TF-CSIRT has had the following impact:

 - supported information sharing and contacts for specific security incidents. 

 - defined a position on support for incident sharing within GDPR and the proposed NIS2 Directive. 

 - seen over 80% of teams respond to the reaction test within 24 hours.

 - defined a future model to ensure the sustainability of TF-CSIRT and its services. 

 - increased the number of accredited teams by 15 and the number of certified teams by 4.
