In order to help businesses build and test their Cyber infrastructure and processes, organizations should conduct a comprehensive Cybersecurity Review. Checksum Cybersecurity Review is based on the NIST Cyber Security Framework, the Recommended Framework by Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB).
NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF)
Checksum's Approach on NIST CSF
Checksum takes a holistic approach on the NIST CSF Assessment and will include
- Development of NIST compliance Roadmap .
- Gap Assessment against NIST framework
- Mapping the relevant  People , Process and Technology with NIST Framework
- Review /Develop Architecture , Policies and Procedures .
- Provide NIST Compliance Management Platform
NIST Framework Core
The government’s Cyber Essentials scheme is based around 5 core functions.
The Framework Core is a set of cybersecurity activities, desired outcomes, and applicable references that are common across critical infrastructure sectors. The Core presents industry standards, guidelines, and practices in a manner that allows for communication of cybersecurity activities and outcomes across the organization from the executive level to the implementation/operations level. The Framework Core consists of five concurrent and continuous Functions. When considered together, these Functions provide a high-level, strategic view of the lifecycle of an organization’s management of cybersecurity risk.
Checksum will deliver an on-site, or remote, assessment against the NIST CSF. An Information Security Consultant will review the organization against each of those Five Functions their subcategories, and produce a report detailing the findings and recommendations.
The 5 Functions are:
- Identify
- Protect
- Detect
- Respond
- Recover
