NIST CSF Cybersecurity framework
Govern, identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover, mapped to your current and target profile.
Core documents AMS builds
- Current and target profiles
- Risk register
- Incident response plan
- Recovery plan
Drafted from your actual processes and systems, then kept under version control with review dates.
The path to NIST CSF
Six steps from first conversation to NIST CSF. AMS and our consultants handle each one with you.
- 1Scope
Define which sites, teams, processes and systems NIST CSF will cover.
- 2Gap assessment
Compare what you do today with every NIST CSF requirement and list what is missing.
- 3Documents
Write the policies, procedures and records NIST CSF expects, starting with the current and target profiles.
- 4Implement and collect evidence
Put the processes into daily work and capture proof that they run, on a schedule.
- 5Internal review
Check readiness with an internal audit or self-assessment, and close the findings.
- 6Ongoing compliance
There is no single certificate. You keep records current, answer regulators and customers, and review controls as the rules change.
NIST CSF questions
Planning NIST CSF? Talk to our team
How long does NIST CSF implementation take?
Most organizations need about 8–14 weeks, depending on size, number of sites and how much is already in place. A gap assessment gives a firm estimate.
What documents does NIST CSF require?
Core documents usually include: current and target profiles, risk register, incident response plan, recovery plan. AMS drafts them from your actual processes and keeps them under version control.
Can NIST CSF be combined with other standards?
Yes. NIST CSF is often run together with ISO/IEC 20000-1, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27701. AMS maps shared requirements, so one record can count toward several standards.
How does AMS help with NIST CSF?
AMS runs the full NIST CSF program: scoping, gap assessment, documents, evidence capture, internal audits, corrective actions and the audit pack for your reviewers.
