Top 3 recommended improvements
- Continuity Planning & Operational Resilience (2.0/5): List your critical services with a recovery time target for each, write a one-page continuity plan with a named crisis team, and test restoring from backup at least once a year.
- Routing & DNS Security (2.5/5): Create RPKI ROAs for every announced prefix (free in MyAPNIC), then enable Route Origin Validation; sign your main domain with DNSSEC and publish the DS record in the parent zone.
- Institutional Coordination (3.0/5): Formalise contact with your national CSIRT, join the APCERT Cyber Drill or a regional exercise, and work towards FIRST membership. Regional peers such as APAN can sponsor you.
