Google Trust Services: Failure to respond to CPR within 24 hours
Google Trust Services (GTS) faced an incident where a Certificate Problem Report (CPR) was not responded to within the required 24-hour timeframe due to issues with their automation pipeline. The incident was identified on June 8, 2023, when it was discovered that inquiries submitted via their contact form were not being processed correctly. GTS took immediate steps to investigate and resolve the issue, deploying a fix by June 9. They have since implemented several improvements to their CPR handling process, including a new management system that integrates better with their task tracking tools and enforces response deadlines. GTS is committed to ongoing enhancements to ensure compliance with response timelines.
