Frequently asked questions

From risk assessment to rapid response - we’re with you every step of the way.

Can you help us map our current state from a previous framework version?

Absolutely. For clients transitioning from earlier NIST CSF versions to v2.0, we provide guidance on how the scoring model has evolved and support clear communication of those changes to internal decision-makers.

Is starting with NIST CSF a problem if we plan to get ISO 27001 later?

No, NIST CSF isn't a certification itself - but it's an excellent framework to strengthen your overall security posture. It can also serve as a solid foundation for pursuing ISO 27001. We can run both frameworks side-by-side, providing a gap analysis to help you understand how they align and where to focus efforts.

Is there an official certification for NIST Cybersecurity Framework?

No. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework isn't a certifiable standard, but Cythera can help you align with its best practices and demonstrate maturity to stakeholders and auditors.
