The main goal of CiviCERT is to improve the incident response capabilities of NGOs, journalists and involved citizens all around the world.

CiviCERT aims to close the gap and increase cooperation between civil society, activists on the one side and organizations or individuals working in information security on the other side. The members of the initiative are a mix between Internet providers' anti abuse teams, NGO project officers and citizens sensitized in freedom of speech and information security. CiviCERT's members donate time and resources to this community in order to globally improve the security awareness of civil society.
CiviCERT serves as secure proxy to report incidents they have been made aware of and provide information of best practices while protecting its beneficiaries and sources.
CiviCERT wants to build bridges with other CSIRTs and security communities by learning from the best practitioners in the security response field and helping other teams to understand the very specific environment that CiviCERT beneficiaries work.
