The Steering Committee provides CONSIRT administration with professional advice and guidance on strategy design and supports them in identifying means to achieve CONSIRT’s objectives. As part of this process, the Steering Committee helps CONSIRT administration identify the needs of CONSIRT’s founding units, and evaluates the actions that CONSIRT proposes in response to these needs. The Steering Committee also evaluates CONSIRT as a whole.
