NIST CSF 2.0
NIST Cybersecurity Framework — All 6 Functions Mapped
NIST CSF 2.0 is the most widely adopted cybersecurity framework in the US. Our platform maps all 6 core functions with 225+ entries, enabling organizations to identify, protect, detect, respond, recover, and govern their cybersecurity posture.
Who needs it: US organizations, federal contractors, critical infrastructure, and any organization adopting a risk-based cybersecurity approach.
What is NIST CSF 2.0?
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0, published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is the most widely adopted cybersecurity framework in the United States. Released in February 2024, version 2.0 added a sixth function — Govern — to the original five (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover), emphasizing that cybersecurity risk management is a governance issue, not just a technical one.
NIST CSF uses a tiered maturity model (Partial, Risk Informed, Repeatable, Adaptive) and organizational profiles to help organizations understand their current cybersecurity posture and set target states. Unlike prescriptive frameworks, CSF is outcome-based and flexible — organizations choose how to achieve each outcome based on their risk appetite and resources. CSF 2.0 also expanded its scope beyond critical infrastructure to explicitly apply to all organizations regardless of size or sector.

- Organizational profile creation with current vs. target state tracking
- Gap analysis with prioritized remediation recommendations
- Cross-framework mapping to ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIST 800-53
- Control implementation tracking with evidence linking
- Real-time compliance scoring per function and category
Your NIST CSF 2.0 Journey With Us
Profile Creation
Build your organizational profile with current and target maturity tiers across all 6 functions. Guided wizard with industry benchmarks.
Gap Assessment
AI-powered gap analysis between current and target profiles. Prioritized action items with effort estimates and risk reduction impact.
Control Mapping
Map existing controls to CSF outcomes. Cross-framework intelligence shows which SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST 800-53 controls already satisfy CSF requirements.
Implementation
Implement missing controls using our 130+ template library. Each control maps to specific CSF subcategories with evidence requirements.
Continuous Monitoring
Real-time compliance scoring per function and category. Track maturity progression over time with trend dashboards.
How We Compare
Most platforms map controls to NIST CSF but don't support the full profile-based methodology. Compliance Enablers provides organizational profile creation, current vs. target state tracking, tier-based maturity assessment, and cross-framework mapping — treating CSF as the strategic framework it is, not just another checklist.
