A Common Language for Cyber Risk
NIST CSF isn't a checklist you pass or fail — it's the framework auditors, insurers, and boards already use to talk about risk. We build your program around it so every gap has an owner, a priority, and a way to show progress.
CSF 2.0 CORE
Six Functions, One Risk Picture
CSF 2.0 added Govern as a standalone function in 2024, putting oversight and accountability on equal footing with the technical work. We assess and build against all six.
Govern
Risk strategy, roles, and policy — the function that sets priorities for the other five and keeps leadership accountable.
Identify
Asset inventory, data flows, and risk assessment — you can't protect what you haven't mapped.
Protect
Access control, training, and data security safeguards that limit or contain a potential incident.
Detect
Continuous monitoring and anomaly detection so incidents are found in hours, not months.
Respond
Incident response plans and communication protocols that hold up when they're actually needed.
Recover
Restoration planning and lessons-learned reviews that get you back to normal and reduce repeat risk.
HOW WE ENGAGE
From Current State to Target Profile
- Current Profile Assessment: We score your existing controls against all six CSF functions and their categories to establish a baseline.
- Target Profile & Gap Analysis: We define the tier your risk tolerance actually requires, then map the specific gaps between current and target state.
- Prioritized Roadmap: Gaps get sequenced by risk and cost, with clear ownership, so your team fixes what matters most first.
- Ongoing Profile Reviews: Cyber risk isn't static — we revisit your profile on a cadence so the framework keeps reflecting reality.
WHY CSF
The Framework Everyone Else Already Speaks
Sector-Neutral, Board-Ready
CSF 2.0 applies to organizations of any size or industry, and its plain-language tiers make risk posture easy to report to a board or investor, not just IT.
Maps to What You Already Have
CSF crosswalks directly to NIST 800-53, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001, so work you've already done isn't wasted — it gets credited against the framework.
Insurer & Vendor Recognized
Cyber insurers and enterprise vendor-risk questionnaires increasingly ask for CSF alignment directly — having a documented profile speeds both processes up.
