Background and Purpose
On February 13, 2015, President Obama signed Executive Order 13691 intended to enable and facilitate ``private companies, nonprofit organizations, and executive departments and agencies . . . to share information related to cybersecurity risks and incidents and collaborate to respond in as close to real time as possible.''
At the Standards Organization's initial public meeting, they intend to review the results of previous DHS-hosted public workshops, and share a proposed standards framework and standards development process. In addition, they will solicit suggestions on existing standards, guidelines, and best practices that can be shared as provisional guidance until formal ISAO standards are established. Minutes from
