NIST CSF governance and risk reporting

Using NIST CSF 2.0 at the leadership level: reporting to the board, integrating with enterprise risk management, running a cybersecurity risk register, writing the policies Govern expects, and planning cybersecurity roles and workforce.

Reporting NIST CSF to the board and executives

How to report cybersecurity to a board using NIST CSF 2.0: the executive, manager and practitioner information flow, KPIs and KRIs, the Oversight Category, leadership accountability outcomes and NIST's guidance on board oversight of risk.

NIST CSF and enterprise risk management (ERM)

How NIST CSF 2.0 plugs into enterprise risk management: SP 1303's six activity points, the IR 8286 series, risk appetite and tolerance, and the risk responses NIST lists for negative and positive risks.

Building a cybersecurity risk register with NIST CSF

How to build a cybersecurity risk register that lines up with NIST CSF 2.0: the CSRR format from IR 8286, NIST's JSON and Excel templates, how registers roll up to the enterprise and how they produce the Organizational Profile.

NIST CSF policies: what Govern expects in writing

Which written policies NIST CSF 2.0 expects and how they are maintained: the GV.PO outcomes and their Implementation Examples, approval and acknowledgement, review triggers, and how one policy maps to the -1 controls of every SP 800-53 family.

NIST CSF roles, responsibilities and workforce planning

Who does what under NIST CSF 2.0: leadership accountability, defined roles and resources in GV.RR, cybersecurity in HR practices, the NICE Framework work roles mapped to every outcome, and NIST's workforce Quick-Start Guide.
