OPEN DEVELOPMENT & RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP

Built Through Technical Participation

The Center coordinates the development, review, publication, and maintenance of the Defensible 10 Standards. Participation may include ISAUnited Technical Fellows, verified practitioners, registered contributors, industry stakeholders, and public reviewers.

​

Proposed standards and revisions are evaluated for technical accuracy, applicability, interoperability, implementation considerations, and consistency across the D10S system. Comments, review decisions, document versions, and approved changes are recorded to support transparency and continuity.

 

ISAUnited Board oversight provides organizational accountability, while technical development remains supported by open participation and documented review.

Issued and maintained by: ISAUnited Center for Cybersecurity Standards

Governed through: ISAUnited’s open standards-development process under ISAUnited Board oversight
