Advice Brokering Service

The Advice Brokering service provides the WARP members with the ability to set up a dialogue amongst themselves, in a secure environment. Members are able to ask each other for advice on information security issues or offer good practice guidelines based on their own experiences. One way of facilitating dialogue could be to use an on-line bulletin board.

The bulletin board would be monitored by the WARP operator, who could be proactive in furthering discussions and summarising any topics of interest. After removing anything sensitive, summaries could then be issued as news items through the Filtered Warnings Service or suitable training organised to help give the WARP that ‘personal touch’. This can also trigger the WARP operator to identify and research topics of common concern, and locate sources of solutions.
