SIIM Roadmap

Organisations can gain further insight into a particular security incident from information/data supplied by other organisations. This information can be obtained either directly through forums or through pooled databases. However, other organisations might use different ways of categorising incidents, making it challenging to analyse shared data. Therefore, it is important to first understand the incident categorisation systems of organisations using different approaches to security incident management. Examples of external incident data-sharing resources include:

• Aid in Danger by Insecurity Insight
• Aid Worker Security Database (AWSD)
• International NGO Safety Organisation (INSO)
• Saving Lives Together Framework
• In-country NGO collaboration structures.
