TF-CSIRT Trusted Introducer offers 3-tiers of membership: Listed, Accredited and Certified. This page tells you more about the first of those processes – being a Listed Team.
As the role and importance of cyber security is rising, internal and external requirements for teams and companies are getting more difficult to fulfil. It is therefore vital to implement leading security measures. For internal security, there are numerous certifications (e.g. ISO 27001) in place.
However, there is no official process to become established and visible to other security teams within the international security community. Years of community building and experience has demonstrated that the unrivalled route into the European and global community of CSIRT teams is to become a member of TF-CSIRT and listed by the Trusted Introducer.
