STANDARD COMPLIANCE

NIST Cyber Security Framework 2.0

Overview:  NIST Cyber Security Framework 2.0

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.

Methodology

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: 

Preparation

This includes conducting an inventory of IT infrastructure, assessing the significance of IT assets, establishing monitoring policies, and developing incident handling guidelines.

Collecting data from IT systems, security tools, publicly available information, etc, and identifying indicators of potential future incidents.

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.

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.

Utilize the findings from the root cause analysis to execute remediation and prevention strategies aimed at addressing the underlying causes of the attack.

Why do organizations need it?

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.

Our Approach

At this stage, we will create policies for the client's organization that are in accordance with the NIST guidelines/framework. NIST framework 2.0 policies include the following: Data Retention Policy, Data Protection Policy, Information Security Policy, and Access Control Policy.

At this stage, we will create policies for the client's organization that are in accordance with the ISO27001 guidelines/framework and are relevant to ISMS. ISO27001 policies include the following: Data Retention Policy, Data Protection Policy, Information Security Policy, and Access Control Policy.

An ISO 27001 Gap Analysis is also referred to as a Compliance Examination or Pre-analysis. The Gap Analysis evaluates the organization's current level of Standard compliance as well as the scope of its ISMS parameters across all business functions. It gives businesses the information they need, as well as recommendations for controls that may need to be implemented to close gaps.

Following the development of policies in order to put the ISMS into action. This helps us determine the relevance and importance of information security in the business. The first step in implementing ISMS is to create a scope and security policy statement. The results of these analysiss are used to categorize the risks into different risk levels, allowing the client to take appropriate action.

We will proceed to get your organization ISO27001 certified after we have completed all of the preceding steps. This will entail a thorough examination of your organization's ISMS to ensure that it meets the requirements of the standard. Audits are performed to gather information about the client and the organization that can be used to highlight areas that may require special attention.

Finally, we'll assist you with the ISO 27001 certification process. This entails a thorough understanding of the various documentation requirements as well as implementation validation.

FAQs

What benefits does the NIST Cybersecurity Framework offer in improving security?

    NIST Cybersecurity Framework assists organizations in safeguarding critical systems and data by promoting security awareness and preparedness. This framework aids in improving security by guiding organizations to communicate requirements, establish new programs, assess current measures, and adopt new standards.

    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
