[03]How we help

How we help with NIST CSF 2.0

We use NIST CSF 2.0 to take a current profile of your security programme across Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover, agree a target profile with management, and turn the difference into a prioritised roadmap. It is a useful board-level view even if you later certify against ISO/IEC 27001.

No. NIST CSF is a voluntary framework, not a certification scheme. It is used to structure and assess a programme.

Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover.

They complement each other. Many organisations use CSF to describe maturity and ISO/IEC 27001 as the management system.
