Universal cyber governance with NIST, ISO, & MITRE ATT&CK frameworks
NIST CSF framework:
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) offers several advantages for organizations looking to improve their cybersecurity posture and reduce risk. Especially popular with small and medium businesses (SMBs), NIST CSF provides all the basics for proper guidance of every cybersecurity strategy, budget, and tactics. but is voluntary.
NIST CSF Focuses on outcomes, emphasizing achieving specific cybersecurity goals rather than just implementing controls. This allows organizations to prioritize their efforts based on their most critical risks.

NIST 800-53 framework:
NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Special Publication 800-53 provides a comprehensive set of security controls and guidelines for federal information systems and organizations. It is widely recognized and adopted not only by government agencies but also by private sector organizations globally.
Using NIST 800-53 as a foundation for cybersecurity risk management offers a structured approach to identifying, implementing, and monitoring security controls, ultimately contributing to a more resilient and secure information system.

NIST 800-171 framework & CMMC:
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-171, or NIST 800-171 for short, offers a set of security controls that directly address protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) on non-federal systems. CMMC compliance heavily emphasizes safeguarding CUI within the defense industrial base (DIB).
Adherence to these controls significantly increases a company's chances of meeting CMMC requirements and winning DoD contracts.
Beyond CMMC compliance, NIST 800-171 offers a valuable framework for improving a company's overall cybersecurity posture. Implementing its controls safeguards not just CUI, but also the organization's sensitive information.
ISO 27001 framework:
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 27001 is an internationally recognized nongovernmental standard for information security management. Achieving ISO 27001 certification demonstrates to stakeholders, customers, and regulatory authorities that the organization has implemented robust security controls and practices. It can also help organizations comply with legal and regulatory requirements related to information security.
ISO 27001 framework provides a structured and systematic approach to information security management, promotes risk-based decision-making, aligns security efforts with business objectives, and enhances trust, compliance, and resilience in the face of evolving cybersecurity threats.

MITRE ATT&CK framework:
a vital toolbox for cybersecurity professionals - a comprehensive taxonomy of attacker tactics and techniques.
MITRE ATT&CK framework empowers cybersecurity professionals with a threat-centric approach. It fosters a deeper understanding of attacker behavior, leading to more effective defense strategies, improved threat detection, and, ultimately, a more secure environment.
MITRE ATT&CK framework is constantly evolving to reflect the ever-changing threat landscape. This ensures that security teams have access to the latest attacker knowledge, enabling them to improve their defenses continuously.
