NIST 2 Framework
What is NIST 2?
NIST 2, also known as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 or simply NIST 2, is the latest update to the cybersecurity framework developed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
This updated framework provides enhanced guidance for managing cybersecurity risks in both public and private organizations, enabling greater resilience against digital threats across critical infrastructure and complex technology environments.
Why is implementing NIST 2 important?
Version 2.0 of the NIST Framework introduces stronger governance principles, incident response capabilities, and proactive protections, becoming a benchmark for organizations aligning their security strategy with international best practices.
Adopting NIST 2 also supports organizations in identifying gaps, reducing vulnerabilities, and complying with related standards such as ISO 27001, NIS2, and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX).
- Technology companies, critical infrastructure operators, and essential service providers
- Public institutions seeking to strengthen cybersecurity policies
- Companies with operations or business relations in the U.S.
- Organizations with operations in the U.S. or working with U.S.-based entities
- Managed service providers (MSPs/MSSPs)
- Entities subject to high-level compliance audits
- Increased exposure to cyberattacks due to lack of structured controls
- Incompatibility with partner or government requirements
- Competitive disadvantage against organizations demonstrating cybersecurity maturity
- Challenges in audits and certification processes
