National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a U.S. government agency that promotes innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology. Founded in 1901 and part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NIST develops and maintains critical standards to enhance the reliability and quality of products, services, and systems across various industries. Its work spans areas such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, manufacturing, and quantum science. NIST is well known for frameworks like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and NIST Special Publications (SP), which provide essential guidelines for cybersecurity, risk management, and data protection. By setting precise measurement standards and conducting cutting-edge research, NIST helps ensure technological progress and economic growth in the United States and beyond.
Enhance Your Risk Management Framework (RMF)
Leverage an integrated platform to manage every aspect of your NIST RMF, including risk assessments, control reviews, employee policy attestations, and vendor risk management. Quickly identify compliance gaps and prioritize remediation to align with NIST standards.
Efficiently Create and Tailor NIST Policies
Access a robust library of pre-built NIST policies or upload your own templates to establish your organization’s compliance framework. Customize policies using a user-friendly editor and ensure they meet NIST guidelines with expert review, ensuring full compliance and alignment with federal standards.
Train Employees to Champion NIST Compliance
Educate your employees on NIST compliance requirements through training modules, periodic testing, and simulated exercises such as anti-phishing campaigns. Ensure they acknowledge and attest to security policies regularly, making them the first line of defense in maintaining NIST compliance.
Monitor NIST Controls Continuously
Implement automated, continuous monitoring to track NIST compliance controls in real-time. Identify potential security gaps and non-compliant activities with configurable alerts, ensuring ongoing adherence to NIST standards and enhancing the security of your organization’s environment.
Streamline Collaboration with Stakeholders for NIST Audits
Simplify the process of collaborating with internal and external stakeholders by automating survey deployments (including pre- and post-audit surveys) and collecting necessary evidence for NIST audits. Maintain a centralized, transparent audit trail to ensure seamless communication and efficient auditing throughout the process.
