Dear All, 

 

Maybe we should consider to investigate how other security relevant / regulated 
verticals handle incident reporting and how they see their way forward? As 
example verticals, we may look at health care, critical infrastructures, air 
traffic control… all of these also try to improve the security/safety in their 
area by adopting the regulations around incident reporting.

 

Kind regards
Roman

Subject: Request for Input: CA Incident Reporting

 

All,





During the CA/Browser Forum Face-to-Face 59 meeting, several Root Store 
Programs expressed an interest in improving Web PKI incident reporting.





The CCADB Steering Committee is interested in this community’s recommendations 
on improving the standards applicable to and the overall quality of incident 
reports submitted by Certification Authority (CA) Owners. We aim to facilitate 
effective collaboration, foster transparency, and promote the sharing of best 
practices and lessons learned among CAs and the broader community.





Currently, some Root Store Programs require incident reports from CA Owners to 
address a list of items in a format detailed on ccadb.org <http://ccadb.org>  
[1]. While the CCADB format provides a framework for reporting, we would like 
to discuss ideas on how to improve the quality and usefulness of these reports.





We would like to make incident reports more useful and effective where they:





*       Are consistent in quality, transparency, and format.
*       Demonstrate thoroughness and depth of investigation and incident 
analysis, including for variants.
*       Clearly identify the true root cause(s) while avoiding restating the 
issue.
*       Provide sufficient detail that enables other CA Owners or members of 
the public to comprehend and, where relevant, implement an equivalent solution.
*       Present a complete timeline of the incident, including the introduction 
of the root cause(s).
*       Include specific, actionable, and timebound steps for resolving the 
issue(s) that contributed to the root cause(s).
*       Are frequently updated when new information is found and steps for 
resolution are completed, delayed, or changed. 
*       Allow a reader to quickly understand what happened, the scope of the 
impact, and how the remediation will sufficiently prevent the root cause of the 
incident from reoccuring. 





We appreciate, to state it lightly, members of this community and the general 
public who generate and review reports, offer their understanding of the 
situation and impact, and ask clarifying questions. 





Call to action: In the spirit of continuous improvement, we are requesting (and 
very much appreciate) this community’s suggestions for how CA incident 
reporting can be improved.





Not every suggestion will be implemented, but we will commit to reviewing all 
suggestions and collectively working towards an improved standard.





Thank you

-Clint, on behalf of the CCADB Steering Committee
