"The Security Incident Response Trust Framework for Federated Identity (Sirtfi) aims SIRTFI) is an international standard to enable the coordination of incident response across federated organisations."organizations. The standard was developed by the international federation operators organization REFEDS and is documented at https://refeds.org/sirtfi.

SIRTFI provides a framework for effective incident response collaboration among federation and interfederation participants. One compromised account can create a security problem for a multitude of services across the interfederation community. When an organization complies with the SIRTFI framework, it agrees to participate in a federated incident response process.  SIRTFI stipulates high-level practices and procedures, and identifies organizations that are capable of participating in a federated incident handling process. Federation participants that comply with SIRTFI are marked in the federation’s metadata, raising the bar for operational security across federations.
