NIST CSF
Cybersecurity Framework Route
NIST CSF
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a flexible tool to assess and improve cybersecurity maturity. iB49 maps your environment to NIST functions (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover) and helps prioritize investments and controls to reduce cyber risk.
Who needs NIST CSF?
Organizations focused on maturing cybersecurity programs, particularly in critical infrastructure, finance, and regulated industries.
Key benefits
Adopting the NIST CSF provides a flexible, risk-based approach to strengthening cybersecurity resilience and communication across the organization.
Risk Clarity
Improve understanding and management of cybersecurity risk across the organization with a common language.
Communication
Provides a clear, executive-level language for discussing cybersecurity risk and investment priorities internally.
Flexibility
Integrates easily with existing compliance standards, risk models, and current cybersecurity practices.
Maturity
Establishes a roadmap for measuring and improving the organization's current and target cybersecurity posture.
Our Approach
We guide your organization through the core five NIST CSF Functions to build and implement a robust and adaptive cybersecurity program.
Identify
Develop an understanding of cybersecurity risk to systems, assets, data, and capabilities across the business.
Protect
Implement safeguards to ensure delivery of critical infrastructure services and limit the impact of incidents.
Detect
Develop and implement activities to quickly identify the occurrence of a cybersecurity event or intrusion.
Respond
CSF maturity dashboard, prioritized roadmap, policy & control recommendations.
Final Documentation and Tools
Control matrix, evidence pack, gap remediation plan, auditor liaison support.
F.A.Q.
The NIST CSF is a voluntary framework providing high-level guidance for organizations to manage and reduce their cybersecurity risks.
No, it is voluntary, but it is often mandated for U.S. federal agencies and widely adopted by private companies globally.
The five core functions are: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover (the lifecycle of managing risk).
The CSF is a high-level framework focusing on risk outcomes, while ISO 27001 is a certifiable standard for an ISMS.
