About NIST Cybersecurity Framework

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a series of heavily curated best practices, guidelines, and principles centering around organization cybersecurity risk mitigation. A tool designed to streamline organizational communication, establish long-term IT security milestones, and centrally view organization-wide compliance with various standards and regulations.

NIST CSF Benefits

Top reasons why organizations utilize NIST CSF

Streamlines communication

Success story logo
NIST CSF consists of 6 functions, 23 categories, and over 100 + subcategories. Each addresses a different audience ranging from
C-level to Middle management, and Administrators. Allowing each layer to be on the same page when discussing security goals.

A conduit for long-term goals

Success story logo
NIST CSF enables organizations to set up long-term goals through its framework profile by evaluating the organization’s current security state and defining a desired state. This can act as a roadmap for hardening cybersecurity.

One-size-fits-all

Success story logo
IST CSF draws inspiration and references from well-established regulations such as ISO 27001, COBIT, and PCI-DSS while acting as a baseline for a series of other regulations such as CMMC, HIPAA, GLBA, and NERC CIP.

Best practice driven

Success story logo
NIST CSF is an amalgamation of over 20 years’ worth of experience in the cybersecurity field condensed into a single checklist. It focuses on all the necessary components that organizations must take into consideration when defining, developing, and hardening their security posture.

FAQ Image
What is NIST CSF compliance?
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a set of guidelines designed to help organizations protect their critical data and reduce cybersecurity risk. It was developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Learn more about what the NIST Cybersecurity Framework is.
What are the 5 components of NIST CSF?
The five components include:

Identify – Understand your assets, data, systems, and risks to establish a solid security foundation.
Protect – Implement safeguards like access controls, awareness training, and data security to reduce risk.
Detect – Monitor systems and networks to spot anomalies, unauthorized access, or malicious activity.
Respond – Take action to contain and mitigate the impact of security incidents in a timely and effective way.
Recover – Restore systems and operations after an incident and improve resilience for the future.
Who should use the NIST CSF?
Originally built for critical infrastructure, NIST CSF is used by businesses across all sectors. The framework is suitable for both large and small organizations, offering a scalable and risk-based approach to building or improving your cybersecurity posture.
Is NIST CSF compliance mandatory?
No, the NIST CSF is not mandatory for most organizations. However, many organizations choose to adopt it because it aligns with several regulatory standards and helps businesses build solid, risk-based cybersecurity strategies.
How does Netwrix help with NIST CSF compliance?
Netwrix solutions align with all 5 components of the framework. Our NIST CSF compliance software helps organizations identify assets and vulnerabilities, protect sensitive data, detect suspicious activity, respond to incidents, and recover quickly.
Can small businesses benefit from complying with NIST CSF?
Absolutely. The framework can be scaled to fit your team’s size and resources. Even if you’re a small business, NIST CSF gives you a structured path for improving security without the need for a massive upfront investment.
How often should I assess my organization's NIST CSF maturity?
Regular assessments are key and it’s best practice to check in at least once a year (or anytime your environment changes significantly). A regular review helps you spot gaps, track improvements, and stay prepared as threats and business priorities evolve.
