NIST Cybersecurity Framework

E Secure 360 applies its experience and leading practices to assist organizations with NIST adoption and compliance

What does using the CSF mean for our company?

We view all companies as being on a journey to understand their cyber risk and address it appropriately. Directors should understand where their
companies are in that journey, and expect to receive higher quality information as the journey progresses. The journey has three phases:

  • Understanding risk – Companies assess what cyber risk really means for them, identifying the key assets that drive the business, and the nature of the threats they face.
  • Prioritizing risk – Companies focus more precisely on the areas that matter most and make decisions based on those priorities.
  • Monitoring risk – Companies develop the ability to know with increasing agility when changes in the technology or business environment or evolving threats change their risk exposure. For example, they may have implemented advanced capabilities for monitoring technology assets and deploying automated threat response. In other words, the five CSF functions—Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover—operating in harmony

How can we help?

Various standards have been developed based on the NIST frameworks, and there are clear commonalities—instances where control and security requirements overlap from standard to standard. Our skilled professionals can help your organization navigate these complex frameworks by providing the following:

  • Consultation on which standards are applicable to your organization
  • Gap analyses to identify enhancement areas within your information security architecture, as well as your operational environment
  • Readiness and assessment services for the different standards
  • Compliance roadmaps for the standard(s) applicable to your organization

Our Methodology for NIST CSF Compliance

Perform risk assessment

Inherent risk assessment

to identify the highest criticality assets and update/align the organization’s existing IT risk & control catalogue to NIST CSF

Conduct gap analysis

Assess the design and implementation

Prepare a gap analysis report consisting of organization’s current state cyber security controls and recommend for management’s consideration to address the potential internal control gaps identified

Remediation roadmap

Review management’s remediation plan

to address the internal control gaps identified and provide advice and recommendations for management’s consideration

Execute

Perform remediation activities

Client Management to execute on remediation activities

Attestation

Facilitate the process

of gaining SOC 2 attestation on the applied NIST CSF, which will enable organizations to prove to external parties on NIST adoption and compliance with other cybersecurity frameworks
