The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) maintains the cybersecurity framework (CSF). This resource helps experts across industries understand the foundations of cybersecurity to protect their businesses.
IT and cybersecurity experts carefully review the NIST CSF to ensure that their policies and procedures are in line with those industry standards. While NIST compliance is voluntary, it creates a strong base to build secure systems, even in an evolving world.
The NIST CSF breaks cybersecurity principles into a handful of domains. You’ll find that some Integrity services serve multiple domains, but every domain should be covered extensively.
The Govern domain provides ways to build cybersecurity from the top down. Focusing on strategic thinking, it includes things like event simulation, strategic planning, and risk assessments.
Integrity provides a suite of Govern-based services:
The NIST framework categorizes “identify” as the efforts and applications that help you understand risks to systems, assets, data, and capabilities. This domain applies to asset management, business environments, governance, risk assessment, and risk management.
Integrity covers the Identify domain through curated services that often provide multiple functions:
The Protect domain aims to create safeguards that prevent issues before they occur — creating a base layer of protection for critical infrastructure.
Protect services focus on access control, awareness and training, data security, information protection, maintenance, and protective technology.
See the leading Integrity services that fall under the Protect domain:
The Detect category overviews ways to find and manage specific threats. Anomaly and event detection, security continuous monitoring, and detection processes all fit here.
These are the leading Detect services from Integrity:
Respond covers direct actions that you can and should take in response to a security incident. This includes response planning, communications, analysis, mitigation, and assessments that review and improve your response plans.
Integrity helps with comprehensive Respond services:
The Recover framework helps you build resilience into your systems and restore operations after an incident creates challenges. This includes actions such as recovery planning, communications, and applying a recovery plan.
Integrity services under this umbrella include the following:
