What is NIST CSF 2.0?

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 represents the most significant evolution in cyber risk management, expanding its scope to be applicable to organizations of any size and sector. Its approach focuses not only on protecting critical infrastructure but on integrating cybersecurity into the core of business strategy.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 has been updated to reflect current cyberspace challenges, and incorporates the Govern function in addition to the traditional Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover functions.

How we work

01Organizational understanding / initial assessment
In the initial phase, activities are carried out to understand the organization, its context, resources, critical processes, and security maturity level. To perform this task, it will be necessary to:
  • Analyze products, services, and operating models.
  • Review existing regulations, policies, and controls.
  • Inventory assets, information flows, and technological infrastructure.
  • Engage in conversations with key stakeholders to identify priorities and risk tolerance.
02Risk assessment
This phase constitutes the fundamental pillar for understanding the organization's real level of exposure to cyber threats. At this point, the objective is to identify, analyze, and prioritize the risks that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical assets, considering both internal and external threats.
  • Identification of critical assets.
  • Identification of threats and vulnerabilities.
  • Assessment of the impact and probability of adverse events.
  • Determination of risk appetite/tolerance.
  • Mapping risks in relation to CSF functions.
03Current profile vs. target profile and action plan design
Establish where the organization stands today (current maturity), where it aims to be (target), and plan how to close gaps. In this phase, a plan will be drafted to identify the measures that must be developed to achieve improvements in the organization's security maturity.
  • Assessment of the current state according to CSF 2.0 functions and categories.
  • Definition of the target profile aligned with strategy, resources, and regulation.
  • Identification of critical gaps.
  • Design of a roadmap or action plan with priorities, responsibilities, timelines, and resources.
04Operational implementation
This phase is the moment when the strategy defined in previous phases is converted into tangible actions. Here, the action plan designed during the gap analysis comes to life through the execution of security controls, processes, and practices that strengthen the organization's cybersecurity posture.
  • Development or improvement of policies, procedures, and roles.
  • Implementation of technical and organizational controls (protection, detection, response, recovery, governance).
  • Staff training and awareness.
  • Security architecture, monitoring, incident response, backups, and recovery.
05Governance, monitoring, and continuous improvement
Ensuring that the implementation of the NIST CSF 2.0 is not a one-time project, but rather a sustainable and constantly evolving process, will be the purpose of this final phase. A clear governance framework will be established, with roles, responsibilities, and oversight mechanisms that ensure cybersecurity remains aligned with the strategic objectives of the business.
  • Establish governance mechanisms: responsibilities, committee, reports to management.
  • Metrics, internal/periodic audits, performance reviews.
  • Lessons learned after incidents or tests.
  • Updating the target profile as threats, technology, and regulations change.

Frequently Asked Questions

We answer your questions

What is NIST CSF 2.0?

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 is an international reference framework that helps organizations manage and reduce their cybersecurity risks. Published by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, it is applicable to organizations of any size and sector. Its 2.0 version incorporates the Governance function alongside the five traditional functions.

What are the six functions of the NIST CSF 2.0?

The six functions are: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. The Govern function is the main novelty of version 2.0, which establishes strategic oversight and responsibilities for cyber risk management.

Who is this service for?

For any organization that needs to manage its cybersecurity risks in a structured way, regardless of its size or sector. It is especially relevant for companies looking to align their security strategy with international standards, comply with regulations, or improve their cybersecurity posture in a measurable way.

Is NIST CSF 2.0 certifiable?

NIST CSF 2.0 is not a certifiable standard like ISO 27001. It is a voluntary framework that allows organizations to assess and improve their cybersecurity posture. However, its implementation is widely recognized and complements certifications such as ISO 27001 and regulatory frameworks like NIS2 or DORA.

What is the difference between NIST CSF 2.0 and ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is a certifiable standard focused on an Information Security Management System (ISMS), while NIST CSF 2.0 is a flexible framework oriented toward cyber risk management. Both are complementary: NIST CSF 2.0 provides a strategic and maturity-based view, and ISO 27001 defines detailed operational controls.
