OVERVIEW

Understanding
NIST CSF (Cybersecurity Framework) 2.0

The National Institute of Standards and Technology created The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 to provide organizations across industry and government agencies a detailed guidance to effectively manage their cybersecurity risks. It offers a set of best practices and a detailed framework that can be used by organizations of any size to step up their cybersecurity posture. See how SharkStriker helps an organization adhere to NIST CSF 2.0.

NIST CSF
BENEFITS

Benefits of being NIST compliant

  • Assists in the overall improvement of cybersecurity posture
  • Encourages to proactively manage risks
  • Prepares organization for supply chain cybersecurity risks
  • Improves readiness against data breach 
  • Minimize downtime
  • Prevents data loss with proactive measures for incident response and recovery
  • Helps adhere to other regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and CCPA
  • Enhances brand reputation
REQUIREMENTS

NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0

  • Establish, communicate, and monitor risk management strategy, expectations, and policies 
  • Develop cybersecurity strategy 
  • Supply chain risk management
  • Define policies, roles, responsibilities, and authorities
  • Understand the organization’s assets(including services, facilities, people, software systems, hardware, and data) and suppliers
  • Identify and prioritize the risks associated with those assets
  • Identify opportunities to improve policies, procedures, plans, and practices that support cyber risk management
  • Secure the assets as per the risks identified and prioritized
  • Use measures to prevent or lower the likelihood & impact of adverse cybersecurity incidents
  • Develop Identity management, authentication & access control, data security, platform security, and training & awareness measures
  • Improve the resilience of technological infrastructure
  • Timely discovery and analysis of anomalies, indicators of compromise, and other events indicating the occurrence of a cyber incident
  • Prepare a successful incident response and recovery plan
  • Plan and develop actions to contain the effects of cybersecurity incidents
  • Ensure measures for incident analysis, mitigation, incident management, reporting, and communication
  • Plan and develop actions for timely restoration of normal operations, decreasing the impact of incidents
  • Develop an effective communication mechanism to be used during recovery
APPROACH

Here is how we can help you adhere to NIST CSF (Cybersecurity Framework) 2.0

We develop the scope of compliance by identifying all the assets. We work with the team to identify all the systems, services, people, software systems, hardware, and facilities involved.

The next step is identifying the risks associated with the assets through risk assessments and assessing policies, procedures, protocols, plans, and practices for gaps against NIST CSF 2.0 recommendations.

We develop controls, policies, procedures, protocols, and other measures that align with NIST CSF 2.0 recommendations to treat the risks and address the compliance gaps.

We provide the guidance to implement the right technology for security monitoring of infrastructure, detection & response to threats, and incident response.

Through training and awareness sessions, resources, and simulations, we assist the organization in establishing a culture where people are aware of their roles and responsibilities in cybersecurity and compliance.

We perform weekly, monthly, and annual security and compliance assessments to monitor compliance, keep deviations in check, and help the organization keep up with the latest expectations in NIST CISF 2.0

BEST PRACTICES

NIST CSF 2.0 best practices we help implement

 

  • Develop a detailed supply chain risk strategy with clear cybersecurity expectations and policies
  • Frame a cybersecurity strategy based on a risk assessment of the infrastructure
  • Identify and develop policies for cyber risk management
  • Develop a mechanism for prompt detection and analysis of suspicious activities based on indicators of compromise and other threat intelligence
  • Establish an effective mechanism for incident response, including appropriate measures for incident management, response, backup, and recovery
  • Set up a mechanism for communication during cyber incidents.
