The next 3-day training course to become a Certified SIM3 Auditor will take place in São Paulo, Brazil, from 17–19 November 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.
