The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a comprehensive set of guidelines for managing cybersecurity risk in organizations. The NIST CSF Implementation Planning Tool, developed by Tenable, provides a step-by-step approach to implementing the v.1.1 framework, and includes a downloadable Excel file to help guide the implementation process. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at some of the key features of the Excel file that stand out.
1. Ability to prioritize each NIST CSF sub-category
2. Ability to map your organization’s service catalog to each sub-category
3. Ability to estimate spend by year against each sub-category
4. Ability to map policy families to functions.
5. Ability to self-assess your maturity for each sub-category in terms of process, policy, documentation, and automation levels in place
6. View maturity rating by category and rolled up to function
7. Ability to map anticipated maturuity level and action plans for upcoming years
Overall, this is a great free spreadsheet resource you can use to perform a basic self-assessment. You will have to fill out a form of contact info to receive the form. It will serve basic or initial needs, but it lacks the robustness that other much pricier self-assessment tools provide such as assessments by business unit, questionnaires, or mapping to multiple frameworks.
