FACT — official development
On 16 October 2026, NIST CAISSI, NSA's Super Intelligence Security Center and CISA published ten voluntary practices for incidents during Super Intelligence training and evaluation. They span five stages: preparation, detection, response, recovery and reporting. The focus includes significant uninstructed agent actions that compromise task boundaries, controls or human oversight.
INTERPRETATION — governance relationship
This is voluntary technical guidance for frontier AI incident management. Its reporting recommendations do not establish a general mandatory notification duty.
IMPLICATION — enterprise relevance
Organisations training or evaluating frontier models can use the practices to plan incident scenarios, escalation, containment, recovery and learning alongside applicable sectoral duties.
