Get trained as an expert in assessing and auditing cybersecurity according to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0
Assessing the organization’s cybersecurity program against the key capabilities and objectives is the cornerstone of cybersecurity improvement and optimization. Internal and external stakeholders have a vested interest in managing cyber risk, and measuring the organization’s cybersecurity processes, procedures, and controls against desired cybersecurity objectives provides the basis for identifying critical risk exposures and opportunities for improvement. NIST CSF 2.0 now provides 106 desired cybersecurity outcomes/objectives along with 363 implementation recommendations. In two short days, our certified NIST CSF 2.0 expert will lead you and your team through a hands-on assessment of these very implementation tasks. The Certified NIST CSF 2.0 LA certification validates your ability to audit and assess the formal structure, governance, and policy of a robust cybersecurity framework following internationally recognized and respected NIST best practices and standards.
NIST CSF 2.0 Core desired outcomes can also be assessed for maturity of execution
Trying to assess a cybersecurity objective or desired outcome as simply “Incomplete”, “Partially Complete”, or “Complete” does not fully capture how mature the recommended tasks are implemented. Were a given cybersecurity objective and its corresponding implementation tasks well-planned? Were the tasks driven by documented policy? Were the implementation policy and procedures standardized throughout the organization, or do they differ from one department to another? Are metrics used and monitored to identify opportunities for improvement? These are some of the questions we should also consider as we assess every desired outcome and control objective’s level of maturity of execution. Determining Maturity Indicator Levels (MIL) is a critical part of a cybersecurity review, and your instructor will provide the seasoned guidance you and your fellow assessors/auditors need to perform the assessment properly.
Is this NIST CSF 2.0 Lead Auditor training only for auditors? How does it help people who implement and manage cybersecurity? What about people who participate in governing or practicing cybersecurity, but are not part of the specialty cybersecurity team?
This NIST CSF 2.0 Lead Auditor training is NOT just for cybersecurity specialists and auditors! While the foundation level NIST CSF 2.0 Lead Implementer training and certification makes you aware of the 363 tasks NIST recommends for NIST CSF 2.0 implementation, this NIST CSF 2.0 Auditor training takes a deep dive into performing each of these 363 implementation tasks. Accordingly, this program is invaluable to anyone playing a role in governing, managing, or practicing cybersecurity. NIST CSF 2.0 governing, planning, implementation, operational practice, and improvement requires baseline assessments (audits) to determine gaps targeted for improvement. This means CSF CSF 2.0 governors, planners, and implementers perform gap-assessments and audits as part of their normal everyday CSF 2.0 roles and responsibilities.
The purpose of the 2-day course is to:
- Provide thorough coverage of NIST CSF 2.0's 106 Core desired outcomes and 363 recommended tasks;
- Understand how to measure and monitor an organization's cybersecurity risk management maturity tiers;
- Prepare you for your NIST CSF certification exam required for Certified NIST CSF 2.0 Lead Auditor professional credentialing.
Upon completion of this training and certificate program, participants will:
- Be equipped with knowledge and skills required to audit NIST Cybersecurity Framework policy and program in line with the NIST CSF 2.0 and related standards of best practice; and
- Expand your cybersecurity competency.
