Requirements & Direction

  • Are Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs) documented and approved by stakeholders? *
  • Is the organization's threat model and relevant threat actors documented? *
  • Are intelligence consumers (SOC, IR, leadership, vulnerability mgmt) identified with defined needs? *
  • Are PIRs reviewed and updated on a defined cadence?

Collection & Sources

  • Are diverse sources used (commercial feeds, OSINT, ISAC/ISAO, government advisories)? *
  • Is the organization a member of a relevant ISAC or information-sharing community?
  • Are indicators of compromise ingested into detection and blocking controls? *
  • Is source reliability and confidence tracked for collected intelligence?

Analysis & Production

  • Is a structured analytic model (e.g., Diamond Model, Cyber Kill Chain) used for analysis? *
  • Are adversary TTPs mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and tracked over time? *
  • Are finished intelligence products tailored to the needs of each consumer? *
  • Is a confidence and estimative-language standard applied to assessments?

Dissemination & Integration

  • Is intelligence disseminated through defined channels with appropriate TLP markings? *
  • Does threat intelligence inform detection engineering and threat hunting? *
  • Is intelligence used to prioritize vulnerability remediation (threat-informed)?
  • Is consumer feedback collected to refine future intelligence products?
