First rolled out in 2014 and updated to v1.1 in 2018, the NIST Cyber Security Framework has become widely known and used in the US and overseas. The NIST CSF sets down a framework of cyber security best practices that can be used by any organization, which also ties into many other frameworks, allowing it to be used alongside them.
The NIST CSF has three components: the Core, Profile, and Tiers. The Core is the heart of the Framework, organizing activities into 5 functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. These are divided into 23 categories, further divided into 108 subcategories, and these subcategories are cross referenced to several other frameworks and standards. The Profile is a way of setting a road map of activities, gathering an organization's current state, then setting down a desired future state. The Implementation Tiers are a way to clarify the organizations view of cyber security risk and its approach to addressing it.
