NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) focuses on using business drivers to guide cybersecurity activities and considering cybersecurity risks as part of the organization’s risk management processes. The Framework is divided into three parts – the Framework Core, the Implementation Tiers, and the Framework Profiles. The Framework Core consists of a set of cybersecurity functions and activities, outcomes, and informative references that are common across sectors and critical infrastructure. Implementation Tiers provide context on how an organization views cybersecurity risk and the processes in place to manage that risk. Framework Profile represents the outcomes of the alignment of standards, guidelines, and practices to the Framework Core in a particular implementation scenario, based on business needs that an organization has selected from the Framework

The framework is sector or industry neutral. It enables organizations, regardless of size, degree of cybersecurity risk, or cybersecurity sophistication, to apply the principles and best practices of risk management to improving security, privacy, and resilience. The Framework Core (version 1.1) consists of five main functions and 23 categories as listed below:
