A common language for security: NIST CSF 2.0

What it is

NIST CSF in plain English

NIST CSF 2.0 (2024) organizes cybersecurity outcomes into six functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover. It is voluntary but widely used by insurers, regulators and as the backbone for NIST 800-53 and CIS Controls programs.

We map your existing controls to CSF categories, set a current and target profile, and close the gaps in order of risk.

FAQ

NIST CSF FAQ

Is NIST CSF a certification?

No. It is a framework. Organizations self-assess or have a third party assess alignment; many then pursue ISO 27001 or SOC 2 on the same foundation.

What is new in CSF 2.0?

A new Govern function, guidance for organizations of all sizes, and stronger supply-chain risk management outcomes.

Do you support CIS Controls too?

Yes, including CIS IG1 and IG2 self-assessments.
