Gain a deeper understanding of your Cyber Security capabilities through a NIST assessment.
Our NIST assessment offers an in-depth evaluation of your organisation’s policies, processes, and practices by examining them against NIST’s five core functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. This assessment helps you understand any gaps and identify opportunities for improvement in your cyber security framework. We can also extend this service to evaluate your controls against standards such as ASD8 or NIST 800-53, ensuring a thorough review of your security posture.
Based on the results, we’ll work with you to develop a three-year roadmap designed to help you achieve your desired target state and enhance your cyber security resilience.
The NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF) 2.0 is a comprehensive set of guidelines developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to help organisations manage and reduce cyber security risks. It provides a flexible and repeatable framework that includes six core functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. These functions guide organisations in understanding their security posture, implementing protective measures, detecting threats, responding to incidents, and recovering from cyber attacks. The NIST CSF is widely used across various industries to strengthen cyber security practices and align them with best standards, enhancing overall resilience to cyber threats.
This function provides a framework to align cyber security goals with an organisation's mission and ERM strategy. It covers organisational context, strategy, supply chain risk, roles, and oversight to ensure integrated, mission-aligned cyber risk management.
This function helps organisations manage cyber security risks by understanding their environment, identifying critical assets, and assessing their value and associated risks. This understanding guides prioritisation and resource allocation.
The Protect function is about creating and applying safeguards to keep critical services running smoothly. It aims to limit the impact of any cybersecurity issues by managing access, securing data, training employees, and maintaining protective technologies.
This function focuses on identifying cybersecurity events as they happen. It involves continuous monitoring to quickly spot threats and vulnerabilities, including anomaly detection and other security processes.
The Respond function guides actions after detecting a cyber security incident. It focuses on containing the impact and creating effective response plans, including planning, analysis, mitigation and communication strategies.
The Recover function focuses on creating and executing plans to restore services after a cyber security incident. It includes recovery planning, improvements and communication to boost resilience and return to normal operations quickly.
