Announcement

The complete Converged Security Framework suite is now permanently archived in the GCSB community on Zenodo, the open research repository operated by CERN. Each of the ten standards, ten implementation procedures and ten playbook guidelines has its own registered DOI.

What this means

  • Permanent citation - every document can be cited by its DOI, which will always resolve to the archived version.
  • Find the DOI - each document page on gcsb.uk shows its DOI and a ready-to-copy "How to cite" line.
  • Status unchanged - archiving does not change any document's approval status, version or rights. Standards remain Version 2.0; procedures and playbooks remain Version 1.0. Framework documents are Board-approved publications, not peer-reviewed Journal articles.
