Supplemental Guidance

The coordination of incident information with external organizations-including mission or business partners, military or coalition partners, customers, and developers-can provide significant benefits. Cross-organizational coordination can serve as an important risk management capability. This capability allows organizations to leverage information from a variety of sources to effectively respond to incidents and breaches that could potentially affect the organization's operations, assets, and individuals.
