Member charter
The member charter says what Port Cyber Alliance commits to, and what it asks of each member. It is short on purpose.
What the alliance commits to
- Confidentiality. What a member tells us about its systems, incidents or weaknesses is never attributed. Shared lessons are anonymised before they reach other members.
- Independence. Advice is given by engineers, in the interest of the member, with no commission from any vendor.
- Plain answers. Every call ends with a written list of actions, in order of priority, that the member can execute without us.
- No lock-in. Tools we recommend are open or replaceable; code we provide is open source wherever possible.
What we ask of members
- Tell the alliance what you see. Suspicious logins, phishing waves, vendor patches that broke something: a short note is enough, we do the rest.
- Use the hours well. One precise question per call. Unused hours are fine; a call without a question is not.
- Respect the other members. Nothing learned through the alliance is used for commercial prospecting of another member.
- Keep your contact up to date in your member area, so that alerts reach someone who can act.
Personal data
Membership data (organisation, contact, decision-maker, expectations) is kept for the duration of the membership and three years after the last exchange, then deleted. You can read, correct or delete it from your member area or by writing to us; details in the privacy policy.
Ending a membership
A member can leave at any time from its member area. The alliance can end a membership that breaks this charter, after telling the member why.
