Hands on practice working through the Develop stage (part 2 of 4) from the Community Profiles Lifecycle
Inputs regarding Community Profiles adoption (e.g., assessments, tools)
Background on NIST Cybersecurity Framework & Community Profiles
Since the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) was first released in 2014, the CSF has been used by communities with shared interests in cybersecurity risk management. They developed what CSF 2.0 terms “Community Profiles” to describe the ways various organizations have used CSF Profiles that groups of organizations use to communicate about and manage cybersecurity risk. In addition to benefits for communities, Community Profiles can support organizations with developing internally-focused Organizational Profiles. A Community Profile can be thought of as guidance for a specific community that is organized around the common taxonomy of the CSF.
