What is NIST?

NIST is the National Institute of Standards and Technology at the U.S. Department of Commerce. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework helps businesses of all sizes better understand, manage, and reduce their cybersecurity risk and protect their networks and data.

When carrying out our risk assessment of IT securities policies and procedures in place, we use the NIST framework as guidelines to assess the fundamentals of the protocols and to determine the IT awareness layer at an organisation and thereafter to determine the risks from cyber threats.

This enables an organisation to put in place adequate actions to mitigate risks from cyber attacks, that can affect any size, type, category of organisation from the entrepreneur to the largest conglomerate.
