NIST CSF (Cybersecurity Framework)

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is one of the most widely adopted voluntary frameworks for managing cybersecurity risk, published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It defines five core functions, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover, and is a standard reference point for third-party cyber risk management programs. Black Kite maps compliance findings to NIST CSF controls.
