Cyber Maturity NIST Self-Assessment

The National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) is a globally recognized set of standards, guidelines, and best practices that help organizations of every size improve their cybersecurity risk management and overall defense. 

Gauge Your Alignment with Industry Cybersecurity Standards

The following questions are divided into the five categories of the NIST CSF. Answer them to receive an evaluation of your organization’s current level of alignment with industry standards. 

How Does the Self-Assessment Work?

Identify

Identify: This stage is about knowing what you need to protect. It involves understanding what information and systems are important and could be targeted by cyber threats.

Protect

Protect: Once you know what needs protecting, you take steps to keep it safe. This category involves putting in place security measures like firewalls, encryption, and access controls to safeguard your data and systems.

Detect

Detect: Despite your best efforts, threats still manage to sneak in sometimes. This category involves setting up systems and processes to detect any unusual behavior or signs of a cyberattack.

Respond

Respond: When you detect a threat, you need to act fast to minimize the damage. This category involves having a plan in place to respond to cyber incidents effectively, contain the threat, and restore normal operations ASAP.

Recover

Recover: Even after an incident, there's still work to be done to get things back to normal. This category involves recovering data, fixing systems, and learning from the incident to prevent it from happening again.
