The next 3-day training course to become a Certified SIM3 Auditor will take place in Egmond aan Zee, The Netherlands, from 15-17 December 2025.
The OCF shepherds the further development of the SIM3 maturity model, that is used by FIRST for their new membership applications, by TF-CSIRT for Certifications in Europe, by ENISA for national teams in the EU, by the NCA (Nippon CSIRT Association) in Japan for 500+ teams, and furthermore by the ITU, the OAS and many more.
