NIST CSF 2.0 Lead Implementer Training

 

Overview

Become a CSF 2.0 Lead Implementer

Lead ImplementerNIST's Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 provides a policy framework of computer security guidance for how organizations in the United States and around the world can assess and improve their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber attacks. The framework has been translated to many languages, and is used by the governments of Japan and Israel, among others. Want to establish yourself as an expert in developing, implementing, and managing a robust cybersecurity program? The Certified NIST CSF LI 2.0 certification is the perfect way to do it! This certification will certify your ability to implement formal structure, governance, and policy of a robust cybersecurity framework following internationally recognized and respected NIST best practices and standards.

Get trained and certified as an expert in developing, implementing, and managing a robust cybersecurity program according to internationally adopted CSF 2.0 governance and management best practices. Stand out in the competitive cybersecurity landscape and take your career to the next level with this prestigious certification.

This 3-day Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 workshop provides thorough coverage of the CSF, as well as setting out advice on the implementation of cybersecurity initiative. The purpose of the course is to:

  • Learn how to establish, manage, and document CSF 2.0 conformance.
  • Provide thorough coverage of the requirements of NIST's Cybersecurity Framework 2.0;
  • Give practical guidance on designing a suitable framework for the organization, and how to leverage ISO 27110 to integrate CSF recommendations into a comprehensive ISO 27001 ISMS;
  • Give practical advice on implementing cybersecurity management;
  • Prepare you for your certification exam required for professional credentialing.

NIST CSF 2.0 Lead Auditor Training

 

Overview

Get trained as an expert in assessing and auditing cybersecurity according to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0

Image of Lead Implementer certification badgeAssessing the organizationโ€™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 organizationโ€™s cybersecurity processes, procedures, and controls against desired cybersecurity objectives provides the basis for identifying critical risk exposures and opportunities for improvement. CSF 2.0 now provides 106 desired cybersecurity outcomes/objectives along with 363 implementation recommendations. In two short days, our certified 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 โ€œIncompleteโ€, โ€œPartially Completeโ€, or โ€œCompleteโ€ 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 objectiveโ€™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 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 CSF 2.0 Lead Auditor training is NOT just for cybersecurity specialists and auditors! While the foundation level CSF 2.0 Lead Implementer training and certification makes you aware of the 363 tasks NIST recommends for 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 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 cybersecurity framework policy and program in line with the NIST CSF 2.0 and related standards of best practice; and
  • Expand your cybersecurity competency.
