NIST CSF 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework Consulting and Implementation

Consulting and Implementation of the NIST CSF 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework

In a digital environment where threats constantly evolve, proactive cybersecurity management is more than a necessity; it is a strategic advantage.

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 not only focuses on protecting critical infrastructure but also 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 Governance function in addition to the traditional functions of Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.

Implementing NIST CSF 2.0 in your organization provides

  • Clear visibility of risks, threats, and critical assets across the organization
  • Strategic prioritization of security investments to maximize return and minimize exposure.
  • Continuous improvement and progress measurement through current vs. target profiles.
  • Strengthening of corporate governance and assignment of responsibilities.
  • Resilience against all types of cyber incidents: ransomware, data breaches, operational failures, etc.
  • Compliance with local and international standards and regulations, facilitating audits and customer/user trust.

Phase I: Organizational 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 carry out this task, it will be necessary to:

  • Analysis of products, services, and operating models.
  • Review of existing regulations, policies, and controls.
  • Inventory of assets, information flows, and technological infrastructure.
  • Conversations with key stakeholders to identify priorities and risk tolerance.

 

Phase II: Risk assessment

This phase is 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 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 impact and likelihood of adverse events.
  • Determination of risk appetite/tolerance.
  • Mapping risks in relation to CSF functions.

 

Phase III: Current profile vs. target profile and action plan design

Establishing where the organization stands today (current maturity), where it wants to go (target), and planning how to close gaps. In this phase, the plan will be drafted to define the measures required to improve 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.

 

Phase IV: Operational implementation

This phase is the moment when the strategy defined in previous phases becomes tangible actions. Here, the action plan designed during the gap analysis comes to life through the execution of controls, processes, and security 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.

Phase V: Governance, monitoring, and continuous improvement

Ensuring that the implementation of NIST CSF 2.0 is not a one-time project but a sustainable and continuously 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 business strategic objectives.

  • Establish governance mechanisms: responsibilities, committee, reporting to management.
  • Metrics, internal/periodic audits, performance reviews.
  • Lessons learned after incidents or tests.
  • Updating the target profile as threats, technology, and regulations evolve.
