NIST Cybersecurity Framework Assessment

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is the most popular framework in the world when it comes to building your information security program (ISP). Conducting a NIST assessment will provide you with the best insight into your risks, help you tackle modern cybersecurity challenges, and meet regulatory compliance or cyber insurance.

What are the benefits?

Identify and Bridge ISP Gaps

The NIST CSF encourages a cycle of continuous improvement by advising organizations of all sizes to regularly assess, adapt, and improve their cybersecurity practices based on changes in their environment, emerging threats, new regulations, and lessons learned from incidents. Conducting a NIST assessment thoroughly examines policies, processes, and technical implementations to ensure that they align with the standards outlined in the framework.

FAQ

What is NIST risk assessment methodology?

During the assessment, auditors evaluate the organization’s compliance with the specified security controls and requirements through an interview process, documentation review, and risk assessment analysis. This involves thoroughly examining policies, processes, and technical implementations to ensure that they align with the standards outlined in the six NIST CSF categories of govern, identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover.
How does the NIST CSF Assessment differ from other cybersecurity assessments?

The NIST CSF was first released in 2014 and then updated to version 2.0 in 2024. A NIST CSF Assessment focuses on the 2.0 framework, providing valuable insights into your risks, helping you address any existing gaps, and offering recommendations for adhering to the NIST CSF framework.

"If you are looking for a company that has the knowledge and skill of a huge corporation with the service of a local "hometown" business, this is it! I can't say enough about the employees and their willingness to help in any situation. I've been through a certification course as well as utilize SBS for services and I have never been disappointed. In fact, they are probably one of the vendors that I couldn't do without in my position as ISO. The company and the employees are a pleasure to work with."

SBS PROVIDES SUPERIOR IT AUDITS AND TESTING

Jeff V. | Small-Business

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  11/28/2023

"The depth of testing they provide is like nothing I've seen from other vendors. We've always done external penetration testing and internal vulnerability scans, but SBS takes it a step further to show security gaps which were not discovered in the past. We've reached out to them long after the audit was completed and they were very helpful with any questions or clarification we had."

Kim P. | Banking

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  11/14/2023

"I did not have to re-create the wheel to develop a comprehensive Information Security Program. The TRAC software has all the components, including policies, that are easy to use! I like how the program separates the requirements into different modules, as this is much easier to implement, but the end product integrates these modules and documents it into a comprehensive program that is usable."

"SBS CyberSecurity performed my security penetration audit on our hospital's network this year. Our consultant provided excellent assistance with gathering information to perform the test as well as providing solutions that we were able to implement.
