This trust anchor is: pub rsa4096/D57E00EA00709A3D 2019-02-25 [SC] [expires: 2034-02-21] 8555 0D8D 5236 BBF1 6A49 0DEB D57E 00EA 0070 9A3D uid CERT.at master key sub rsa4096 2019-02-25 [E] [expires: 2034-02-21] and can be found on most key-servers. Please DO NOT use this key for communications with us.

Charter 3.1 Mission statement The purpose of Austrian Energy CERT is to coordinate security efforts and incident response for IT/OT-security problems of the energy sector on a national level in Austria. 3.2 Constituency The constituency of the Austrian Energy CERT is the natural gas, electricity and oil industry of Austria. 3.3 Sponsorship and/or affiliation Austrian Energy CERT is an initiative of the Austrian gas, elecricity and oil industry and is operated by nic.at, the Austrian domain registry. Funding is provided by the constituency. Funding is provided by members of the natural gas, electricity and oil industry. Organizational aspects on the foundation of the AEC can be found at http://www.aec.arge.or.at/ . 3.4 Authority The main purpose of the Austrian Energy CERT in incident handling is the coordination of incident response. As such, we can only advise our constituency and have no authority to demand certain actions. 4. Policies 4.1 Types of incidents and level of support The Austrian Energy CERT is authorised to address all types of computer security incidents which occur, or threaten to occur, in our constituency (see 3.2) and which require cross-organisational coordination. The level of support given by Austrian Energy CERT will vary depending on the type and severity of the incident or issue, the type of constituent, the size of the user community affected, and our resources at the time. Special attention will be give to issues affecting funding members and critical infrastructure. Austrian Energy CERT is committed to keeping its constituency informed of potential vulnerabilities, and, where possible, will inform this community of such vulnerabilities before they are actively exploited. 4.2 Co-operation, interaction and disclosure of information The Austrian Energy CERT will cooperate with other organisations in the field of computer security. This cooperation also includes and often requires the exchange of vital information regarding security incidents and vulnerabilities. Nevertheless Austrian Energy CERT will protect the privacy of reporters, partners and our constituents, and will therefore (under normal circumstances) pass on information in an anonymised way only. Austrian Energy CERT operates under the restrictions imposed by Austrian law. This involves careful handling of personal data as required by Austrian Data Protection law, but it is also possible that - according to Austrian law - Austrian Energy CERT may be forced to disclose information due to a court order. All information is processed under Traffic Light Protocol (TLP). By default, the Austrian Energy CERT treats all submitted information as confidential, and will only forward it to concerned parties in order to resolve specific incidents. (TLP:AMBER) In its role as a component of the Austrian cyber security coordination the Austrian Energy CERT will share anonymised incident information. 4.3 Communication and authentication For normal communication not containing sensitive information Austrian Energy CERT might use conventional methods like unencrypted e-mail or fax. For secure communication PGP-encrypted or S/MIME-encrypted e-mail or telephone will be used. If it is necessary to authenticate a person before communicating, this can be done either through existing webs of trust (e.g. FIRST, TI, ) or by other methods like call-back, mail-back or even face-to-face meeting if necessary. 5.
