TI Process

Summary

	Summary  Registration  Accreditation

 
The Trusted Introducer (TI) is the trust network for CSIRTs or CERTs in Europe.

Any CSIRT function or team that provides incident management services is invited to register with the TI. Registration is subject to a vetting/review process which takes three to four weeks on average, but is free of charge. Once registered (also known as "listed"), the contact data of the team will be made publicly available by the TI.

To maintain your "listed" team data, or to find other team's data, consider the contact information of all registered ("listed") CSIRTs in Europe:

• listed teams from a..z
• listed teams per country
• any changes or errors: make these known to the TI

The logical next step for your CSIRT after registration is accreditation. Accreditation is performed by the TI following a standardised process which requires between one and four months, depending on your own feedback. Any registered CSIRT that is serious about their service can gain accreditation. A one-time accreditation fee and an annual fee ensure the continuity of the TI trust network. The accredited teams have access to a trusted website, regular closed meetings, secure mailing lists and other value added services.

Adding certification as the next step in the TI CSIRT maturity model, is under debate in the TI community right now. We invite you to register your team and apply for accreditation, and join in this debate.
