Operational exchange of information between CISE nodes will be regulated by the administrative framework called “Cooperation Agreement”. The Cooperation Agreement regulates issues such as roles and responsibilities, data exchange, data security for classified information, confidentiality, data protection, optional escalation mechanism and amendment procedure.
The “Cooperation Agreement” will be signed by all the CISE participants. It was drafted in a flexible way to apply to the different organisation models for CISE in individual states and agencies.
CISE complies with EU and national legislation regarding the recording, sharing and usage of data, ensuring protection, security and confidentiality of sensitive data, be it personal, private or operationally strategic.
