MICITT as National Coordinator shall supervise the efficacy and efficiency of the lines of action
for implementation and recommend, in consultation with relevant stakeholders, about the
measures to optimize the policies and procedures of cybernetic security in Costa Rica.
The above includes establishment of clear policies to define, regulate and promote the exchange
of information among the various entities interested and work groups in each of the sectors,
creating an environment of trust and strengthening existing lines of communication.
Dialogue and cooperation between the private sector and the State are essential requirements
to achieve the strategy’s objectives; therefore, exchange of information shall be promoted,
supported by confidentiality agreements to create the necessary trust during the effective and
timely treatment of incidents.
In addition, the State reserves the faculty of creating ad-hoc commissions as a mechanism for
the study, analysis and recommendation in specific themes of cybernetic security. The sectors’
representation and the conformation of these commissions shall be determined by the specific
subject and the pertinent or affected sectors.

cybernetic security matters and giving follow-up to compliance to this strategy. The
national coordination figure befalls on MICITT; it shall be the focal point at national and
international level for any topic related to cybernetic security.
