The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) is the de facto standard for structured cybersecurity — used by federal contractors, supply-chain manufacturers, cyber insurance applicants, and any business that wants an organized way to manage cyber risk. Hurricane Technologies helps Rochester-area businesses align to NIST CSF, starting with a gap analysis of where you stand today.
The five NIST CSF functions
- Identify — Asset inventory, risk assessment, governance
- Protect — Access control, awareness training, data security, protective technology
- Detect — Continuous monitoring, anomaly detection, security event logging
- Respond — Incident response planning, communications, mitigation
- Recover — Recovery planning, improvements, post-incident reviews
Where NIST alignment matters most
If you're a federal contractor (or a supplier to one), a manufacturer or construction firm on government projects, or shopping for cyber insurance, NIST alignment is increasingly non-negotiable. Insurance applications now routinely ask which specific NIST security controls you have in place.
