Cybersecurity shouldn’t be left to best guesses.
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework gives organizations a flexible model for managing and reducing cyber risk. Empowered helps you operationalize it – connecting controls, risks, and reporting in one platform.
Understanding NIST
A voluntary framework for managing cybersecurity posture.
Developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) helps organizations of all sizes assess and improve their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats. It’s built around five core functions and adaptable to evolving risk environments.
- Organizes cybersecurity activities into five functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
- Supports alignment with other frameworks and regulatory obligations.
- Widely used across industries—from critical infrastructure to finance and healthcare.
Cyber Risk Is Business Risk
Cyber threats are growing – and so is the need for a clear, repeatable approach to managing them. NIST CSF helps organizations align cybersecurity with broader risk and compliance goals, but bringing the framework to life across teams takes more than good intentions.
- Reduces exposure to data breaches, ransomware, and operational downtime.
- Builds alignment between cybersecurity and enterprise risk strategy.
- Helps satisfy growing regulatory and customer expectations for resilience.
