Cybersecurity Framework

NIST CSF 2.0 Implementation Services

NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 is the world's most widely adopted risk management framework, now with a new Govern function and universal applicability. PTG implements all six core functions to establish, measure, and continuously improve your cybersecurity posture.

Six Core Functions

The CSF 2.0 Framework

CSF 2.0 adds the Govern function and expands supply chain risk management across all functions.

Govern, Identify, Protect

  • Govern: Risk management strategy, roles, policies, and board-level oversight
  • Identify: Asset management, business environment, risk assessment, supply chain
  • Protect: Access control, training, data security, maintenance, protective tech

Detect, Respond, Recover

  • Detect: Continuous monitoring, anomaly detection, security event analysis
  • Respond: Incident response planning, execution, and communications
  • Recover: Recovery planning, improvements, and lessons learned feedback loop
Services

CSF 2.0 Implementation Services

End-to-end services from initial assessment through continuous improvement.

CSF 2.0 Maturity Assessment

Evaluate your posture across all six functions with Implementation Tier determination (Partial through Adaptive) and Organizational Profile documentation.

Governance Program Development

Establish cybersecurity governance at the board level with risk management strategy, policies, supply chain oversight, and executive dashboards.

Risk-Based Security Implementation

Deploy security capabilities prioritized by risk across Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover functions.

Cross-Framework Integration

Leverage CSF 2.0 Informative References to map to NIST 800-53, 800-171, and ISO 27001.

Continuous Improvement Program

Ongoing maturity assessments, target-state tracking, and improvement roadmaps that demonstrate measurable ROI on security investments.

Board Reporting and Communication

Executive dashboards, risk communication materials, and board-ready presentations that translate security metrics into business risk language.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What changed from CSF 1.1 to CSF 2.0?

The biggest change is the addition of the Govern function, making cybersecurity governance an explicit core component. CSF 2.0 also expands to all organizations (not just critical infrastructure), improves supply chain integration, and adds Community Profiles for sector-specific guidance.

Is NIST CSF 2.0 mandatory?

CSF 2.0 is voluntary for most organizations but is increasingly required by cyber insurance carriers, enterprise customers in RFPs, and PE/M&A due diligence processes. Federal agencies are required to align with it under Executive Order 13800.

How does CSF 2.0 relate to NIST 800-53 and 800-171?

CSF 2.0 provides the organizing structure for your security program. 800-53 and 800-171 provide the specific controls you implement within that structure. CSF 2.0 Informative References map directly to both frameworks.

What are CSF 2.0 Implementation Tiers?

Tiers range from Partial (Tier 1) to Adaptive (Tier 4) and describe the degree to which your cybersecurity risk management practices exhibit the characteristics defined in the framework. They are not maturity levels but reflect your risk management approach.

How long does CSF 2.0 implementation take?

Initial assessment and roadmap development takes 4-6 weeks. Full implementation depends on your current maturity and target state but typically spans 6-18 months. PTG's approach prioritizes high-impact improvements first for rapid risk reduction.
