    NIST CSF 2.0 Assessment and Implementation Consulting

    NIST CSF 2.0 · NIST Cybersecurity Framework

    For organizations of any size that want a structured way to measure and improve cybersecurity. We profile your current state against NIST CSF 2.0, define a target profile, prioritize gaps across all six functions including Govern, and build a practical improvement roadmap.

    What is NIST CSF 2.0?

    The NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides guidance for organizations to assess and improve their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber attacks through five core functions.

    Key Focus Areas

    Identify — asset management, governance
    Protect — access control, data security
    Detect — continuous monitoring
    Respond — response planning, mitigation
    Recover — recovery planning
    Govern — risk management strategy

    What our engagement includes

    Current profile across the six CSF 2.0 functions
    Target profile aligned to business risk
    Gap analysis with prioritized actions
    Implementation roadmap
    Governance and reporting model
    Mapping to ISO 27001 or other frameworks you use

    How the engagement works

    01

    Current Profile Assessment

    Map existing cybersecurity practices to NIST CSF functions.

    02

    Target Profile Design

    Define desired outcomes aligned with business objectives.

    03

    Gap Analysis

    Identify and prioritize gaps between current and target profiles.

    04

    Implementation Roadmap

    Develop phased plan with actions, timelines, and resources.

    05

    Continuous Improvement

    Establish metrics and monitoring for ongoing progress.

    Timeline and cost factors

    Typical timeline: 2–6 months for assessment and roadmap. Cost depends on scope, organization size, number of locations and systems, current maturity and how much hands-on implementation support you need. Any certification, assessment or audit body fees are separate and set by that body.

    Questions buyers ask

    No. NIST CSF is a voluntary framework and there is no official certification. Organizations use it to assess and communicate cybersecurity posture.

    CSF 2.0, released in February 2024, added the Govern function and broadened the framework beyond critical infrastructure. It also added more guidance on supply chain risk.

    Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover. Together they describe the outcomes of a cybersecurity program.

    Yes. NIST publishes mappings, and we can map one control set to both so evidence is reused.

    US companies, government contractors, critical infrastructure and many international organizations. It is often used to report security posture to boards.
