STANDARD COMPLIANCE
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Cybersecurity Framework is a voluntary set of standards, guidelines, and best practices designed to manage cybersecurity risks effectively.
In February 2013, Executive Order (EO) 13636, "Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity," was issued, recognizing the significance of national and economic security depends on the reliable function of critical infrastructure. In response to this directive, National Institute of Standards and Technology collaborated with leading experts in information security, including BSI representatives, to develop the NCSF. This framework's prioritized, adaptable, and cost-effective approach aims to enhance the protection and resilience of critical infrastructure and other vital sectors.
NIST outlines a four-step response process, describing it as a cyclical activity aimed at continuous learning and improvement to counter cyber attacks effectively. The process is as follows:
Detection and Analysis
Collecting data from IT systems, security tools, publicly available information, etc, and identifying indicators of potential future incidents.
Containment, Eradication and Recovery
This aims to minimize the impact of a security incident by eliminating the threat, restoring systems, and swiftly recovering normal operations while implementing measures to prevent future attacks.
Post Incident Activity
Security teams must analyze what went wrong, determine necessary changes, and identify areas for improvement. This process strengthens security policies and enhances incident response capabilities for the future.
Prevention Strategies
Utilize the findings from the root cause analysis to execute remediation and prevention strategies aimed at addressing the underlying causes of the attack.

The NIST CSF 2.0 offers numerous advantages to organizations. Security breaches and cyber threats can significantly impact finances and reputation. This framework not only aids in preventing, resolving, and recovering from cybersecurity incidents but also reveals potential positive opportunities. Organizations need NIST cybersecurity framework for several key reasons:
Enhance current IT risk management strategies.
Incorporate guidelines for preventing and addressing cybersecurity events.
Prepare to restore normal operations following significant cybersecurity breaches.
Develop a cyber risk management approach.
Promote a systematic approach to cybersecurity.
While there isn't a certification specifically for the overall NIST Cybersecurity Framework, there is a certification for NIST cybersecurity implementation. This certification validates an organization's capability to apply NIST best practices and standards to establish the necessary structure, governance, and policies for strong cybersecurity
