- Institutional Coordination (2.0/5): 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.
- Continuity Planning & Operational Resilience (2.3/5): 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.
- Incident Response & CSIRT Capability (2.7/5): Write a short incident response plan (intake, triage, containment, lessons learned), run one tabletop exercise a year, and get your CSIRT listed with Trusted Introducer.
