NIST FAQs

Is NIST Cybersecurity Framework mandatory?

NIST CSF is voluntary for most organizations, but it's required for federal agencies and often mandated by contracts or regulations. Many organizations adopt it as a best practice regardless of requirements.

How does NIST CSF relate to other frameworks?

NIST CSF is designed to complement other frameworks. It maps to ISO 27001, COBIT, CIS Controls, and others. It often serves as an organizing framework that incorporates controls from more specific standards.

What NIST CSF tier should we target?

Most mature organizations aim for Tier 3 (Repeatable) or Tier 4 (Adaptive). The appropriate tier depends on your risk profile, industry requirements, and organizational capabilities. We help determine the right target for your situation.
