Maturity: Moving from ad-hoc to well-defined and mature models of operation of CSIRT or SOC which ensures fewer errors and inefficiencies.
Clear service model: Defined roles, responsibilities, and competences as well as incident categorisation, communication, and management practices enable maximal incident prevention and minimal impact.
Mandate: All resources (people, technology, processes) are clearly connected to the mandate and created value via service and process KPIs.
Flexible set-up: CSIRT or SOC composition and clear KPIs allow cost-effective insourcing and outsourcing of additional capabilities when needed.
Speed: Faster incident identification, analysis, resolution, and mitigation due to clear and effective service processes.
Clear reporting: The CSIRT or SOC model ensures that all constituents understand clearly how to report the incidents.
Trust: The reputation of a professional CSIRT or SOC and working with various local and international communities ensures much better formal and informal communications regarding incident handling.
