resells international products, but uptake is limited as the terms are often not suitable for
local companies.
No vulnerability-disclosure framework is in place. Stakeholders mainly share technical details
of vulnerabilities informally with other stakeholders, who can distribute the information
more broadly; but this is not common. Currently, organisations have established their own
processes and mechanisms to receive, disseminate and share information on vulnerabilities,
and only some organisations are obliged to report to CERT-IS.
Additional Reflections
This was the 18th country review supported directly by the Global Cyber Security Capacity
Centre at Oxford. It was intended to assist the Government of the Republic of Iceland to gain
insights into the breadth and depth of the country’s cybersecurity capacity. Iceland has
commenced the process of developing different aspects of cybersecurity capacity across all
dimensions, including through revising the National Cybersecurity Strategy and revisiting
legal frameworks and regulation. The review suggests a number of specific steps by which
Iceland’s cybersecurity capacity might achieve greater levels of maturity.
