Organisation not registered with ASISA/SAIA CSIRT, or no evidence of threat intel review process, or no action records against received alerts

Applicability gate

Confirm the entity's role before treating this as a duty

This is a readiness rule mapped to JS2 themes. Its presence in the library does not establish that JS2 applies directly to the firm.

• Insurance Broker: Most independent non-life Category I brokers are not directly in JS2's defined scope. A broker may be directly in scope if it separately meets a listed category, and may face contract or oversight requirements from an in-scope institution. Third-party provisions impose duties on the in-scope financial institution. They do not themselves make every supplier or intermediary directly subject to JS2.
• Uma Binder Holder: UMA or binder-holder status is not itself listed in JS2's definition. Direct scope depends on another listed capacity; insurer contracts and oversight may create evidence requirements. JS2 paragraph 3.3 concerns juristic persons structured under an insurer or designated insurance group; it is not a blanket rule for every independent UMA or intermediary.
• Insurer: An insurer as defined in the Insurance Act is directly in scope of JS2 from 1 June 2025. Apply proportionality and distinguish the insurer's own duty from requirements it places on third parties.
