A.5.6 · Organizational

Contact with special interest groups

Why it matters

Threat intelligence communities and industry groups surface risks earlier than you'd catch them alone.

How a self-led small team implements it

Subscribing to a relevant ISAC, vendor security bulletin, or local CERT mailing list counts.

What auditors expect to see

List of memberships/subscriptions and how information from them gets actioned.

Track A.5.6 in your own Statement of Applicability — mark it applicable, log your justification, and link it to the risk that drove it.
