Cybersecurity Framework
An internationally recognized framework of best practices for managing cybersecurity risk
Explore the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to strengthen your digital defenses
As a cybersecurity and compliance solutions provider, SanTrac Technologies has the experience and expertise to help your organization improve its security posture by implementing the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF).
What is THE NIST CSF?
The NIST CSF is a globally recognized set of guidelines and best practices designed to bolster organizations’ cybersecurity posture. This framework provides a flexible and consistent approach for organizations to manage and reduce cybersecurity risks, offering a structured methodology that enables businesses to better understand, manage, and communicate their cybersecurity efforts effectively.
The NIST believes that cybersecurity is an ongoing process that requires organizations to continuously monitor their systems and processes, and make improvements as needed. A CSF is therefore a valuable resource for organizations that are looking to improve their cybersecurity posture.
Here are some additional benefits of using the NIST CSF:
- It is a comprehensive framework that covers all aspects of cybersecurity.
- It is a well-respected framework that is used by organizations around the world.
- It is a well-respected framework that is used by organizations around the world.
- It is a free framework that is available to anyone.
Identify critical assets, understand threats and vulnerabilities,
and implement appropriate controls
We’ll help you acquire essential insights, guide you in developing tailored security measures, and assist you in allocating resources efficiently.
NIST CSF Functions and Activities
The NIST CSF is built upon these five core functions, each representing a critical aspect of a resilient cybersecurity program:
Identify
The Identify function focuses on understanding and managing cybersecurity risks. It involves recording critical assets, understanding vulnerabilities, and establishing a risk management process to prioritize actions and resources effectively.
Protect
The Protect function aims to safeguard critical assets by establishing appropriate safeguards and measures to limit or contain the impact of potential cybersecurity events. This includes access control, data security, training, and awareness programs.
Detect
The Detect function involves continuously monitoring systems to promptly identify cybersecurity events. Early detection allows for a faster response and mitigation of potential damage, minimizing the impact of cybersecurity incidents.
Respond
The Respond function provides organizations with a detailed outline for responding to cybersecurity events quickly and effectively. This function includes steps for ensuring response plans are tested and updated and coordinating with stakeholders.
Recover
The Recover function involves developing and implementing a plan to restore affected systems and processes to normal operation. This includes learning from incidents and improving future incident response and recovery plans.
