How can organisations benefit from implementing NIST CSF

We help businesses across Australia and New Zealand demonstrate a high standard of information security standards through the implementation and mantainance of the NIST Cyber Security Frameworks.

Global standard of security

NIST CSF is globally recognised as industry best practice with a detailed set of controls. It helps businesses address any blindspots missed when tackling cybersecurity. 

Built for stakeholders

NIST Framework can help align all stakeholders- technical and non-technical to a common vision and roadmap for security-related decision making.

Competitive Edge

Not adopting NIST framework can be a deal breaker when it comes to securing a new client, supplier or vendor. Cybersecurity is a key selling point and implementing NIST can help organisations grow faster.

Case Study

Having a cyber security audit has been hugely beneficial for us as we now understand the gaps and blind spots in our cyber security posture. The exercise was fast and efficient and AMARU demonstrated exceptional knowledge in the cyber security arena. We would definitely recommend Amaru to others; they are very reasonably priced, trustworthy and provided excellent advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

See our frequently asked cyber security questions below for help and advice.

What is NIST CSF and why is it important for organisations?

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides a common language and systematic methodology for managing cyber security risk. It guides organisations in managing and reducing their cybersecurity risks in a way that compliments existing cyber security and risk management processes. The framework is designed to foster risk and cybersecurity management communications amongst both internal and external organisational stakeholders.

How long does it take to implement the NIST Framework?

Each organisation’s cybersecurity resources, capabilities, and needs are different. So the time to implement the Framework will vary among organisations, ranging from as short as a few weeks to several months. The Framework Core’s hierarchical design enables organisations to apportion steps between current state and desired state in a way that is appropriate to their resources, capabilities, and needs. This allows organisations to develop a realistic action plan to achieve Framework outcomes in a reasonable time frame, and then build upon that success in subsequent activities.

What benefits do organisations gain from implementing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework?

Organisations can gain benefits such as improved risk management, enhanced communication throughout the organisation, cost-effective prioritisation of improvement activities, and stronger cyber security posture. The Framework also provides a structure for end-to-end risk management communications across an organisation.

How can AMARU assist organisations in adopting the NIST Framework?

AMARU assists businesses across Australia and New Zealand in tailoring the framework to their specific business needs, conducting cyber security risk assessments, creating cybersecurity projects, implementing security measures, setting security priorities, and aligning budgets with improvement activities based on cyber risk. Our expert’s guidance can help organisations streamline the process and achieve NIST alignment in no time.

Is NIST Cybersecurity Framework a certification?

No, NIST is a guideline or framework that businesses can implement to align with security best practices. There is no official NIST audit conducted. However, implementing NIST frameworks also brings your business one step closer to achieving any of the other security certification or attestation if needed.
