NIST CSF
A flexible risk-management framework organized around six core functions.
Overview
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) organizes security practices into six functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover, giving organizations a common language to assess and improve their security posture. It's not a certification; it's a maturity and risk-management framework.
Why it matters
NIST CSF is widely used as a baseline for building a risk register, benchmarking maturity, and communicating security posture to leadership and boards in terms that aren't tool- or vendor-specific.
How Sense Six Cyber helps
- Assess current maturity against each of the six CSF functions
- Build a risk register and control roadmap aligned to CSF
- Translate CSF categories into a prioritized action plan
- Use CSF as the common framework underneath SOC 2 or ISO 27001 work
- Report progress to leadership in plain language
Ideal for
Companies wanting a practical, non-certification framework to structure their security program and reporting.
