The objective of the ISAO 600-2: U.S. Government Relations, Programs, and Services document is to identify preliminary matters of policy and principles, state and local government perspectives, and relevant federal laws regarding cybersecurity information sharing within the United States. Developing trust within and across an information sharing ecosystem that involves both the public and private sectors is a major consideration for all collaborating entities, particularly in the areas of information sharing and privacy, the role of government, and national security.

This document also addresses considerations for Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (ISAO) interaction with the intelligence community, law enforcement agencies, U.S. regulatory agencies, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and other government departments and agencies.
