The close coordination of identity functions with teams that are responsible for cybersecurity, privacy, threat intelligence, fraud detection, and program integrity enables a more complete protection of business capabilities and constant improvement. For example, payment fraud data collected by program integrity teams could provide indicators of compromised subscriber accounts and potential weaknesses in identity proofing implementations. Similarly, threat intelligence teams may learn of new TTPs that could impact identity proofing, authentication, and federation processes. Organizations SHALL establish consistent mechanisms for the exchange of information between stakeholers that are responsible for critical internal security and fraud prevention. Organizations SHOULD do the same for external stakeholders and identity services that comprise their online services.

When organizations are supported by external identity providers (e.g., CSPs), the exchange of data related to security, fraud, and other RP functions may be complicated by regulations or policy. However, establishing the necessary mechanisms and guidelines to enable effective information sharing SHOULD be considered in contractual and legal mechanisms. All data collected, transmitted, or shared by the identity service provider SHALL be subject to a detailed privacy and legal assessment by either the entity generating the data (e.g., a CSP) or the related RP for whom the service is provided.

Coordination and integration with various organizational functional teams can help to achieve better outcomes for the identity functions. Ideally, such coordination is performed throughout the risk management process and operations life cycle. Companion volumes [SP800-63A] , [SP800-63B] , and [SP800-63C] provide specific fraud mitigation requirements related to each of the identity functions.
