Sheltered Harbor standards, best practices, and other materials are developed by collaborative working groups, composed of subject matter experts, mainly from Sheltered Harbor participant institutions and partners.
The working groups are highly active, meet often, and produce concrete deliverables. Therefore, joining is a real commitment. In return, members get to shape the development of the standard, build their own skills and expertise in various aspects of cyber resilience, and grow their professional networks through substantive work with peers around the country.
