What You Will Learn

Six NIST Framework Modules

Master all five NIST CSF core functions plus the framework overview — building a complete cybersecurity programme for your organisation.

Module 01

NIST Framework Overview

›NIST Framework architecture and purpose — Core, Tiers, and Profiles
›Category layer topics and how they align to NIST Framework functions
›Framework implementation guidance — creating current and target profiles
›Understanding maturity tiers — from Partial (Tier 1) to Adaptive (Tier 4)

Module 02

NIST Framework: Identify Function

›What constitutes an asset and which assets need to be protected
›The who/what/why of a continuously updated asset inventory
›How discovery and inventory facilitates DR, Incident Response, and BIA planning
›Controls for inventory classification and KPIs developed around these controls

Module 03

NIST Framework: Protect Function

›Creating and documenting a baseline configuration for data center systems
›Business Impact Analysis (BIA) as integral to the protect function
›Role of Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and BIA in protection strategy
›Maintenance, access control, awareness training, data security, and protective technology subcategory controls

Module 04

NIST Framework: Detect Function

›Anatomy of a breach — what constitutes a breach, why it happens, and steps to avoid it
›Methods of detection — SIEM, IDS/IPS, behavioural analytics, and threat intelligence
›Concept and benefits of continuous monitoring — real-time visibility and anomaly detection
›Detection and analysis subcategories — events, security continuous monitoring, and detection processes

Module 05

NIST Framework: Respond Function

›Quantify the extent of a security breach — scoping, impact assessment, and forensics
›Contain a security breach — isolation, eradication, and evidence preservation procedures
›Construct an effective Incident Response Plan — roles, escalation, and playbooks
›Purpose and details of a Communications Plan — internal, external, and regulatory notifications
›After action plan and review — lessons learned, improvement recommendations

Module 06

NIST Framework: Recover Function

›Considerations when implementing a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)
›How BCP supports timely recovery to normal operations after a cybersecurity incident
›Requirements and processes to return to business as usual — validation and verification
›Understanding the impact to business — reputation management and revenue recovery assessment

Full Curriculum

6-Module D-CSF-SC-23 Programme

Complete NIST Cybersecurity Framework curriculum covering all five core functions and implementation guidance for data center environments.

›NIST Framework architecture — Core (Functions, Categories, Subcategories, Informative References)
›Framework Tiers — Tier 1 Partial through Tier 4 Adaptive maturity levels
›Framework Profiles — current state vs target state profile gap analysis
›Category layer topics and alignment to the five core NIST Framework functions
›Implementation guidance — using profiles, tiers, and the seven-step process

›Asset management — hardware, software, data, people, and facilities inventory
›Continuously updated inventory — discovery tools, CMDB, and asset lifecycle tracking
›Business environment — organisational mission, stakeholders, roles, and critical services
›Risk assessment — identifying, estimating, and prioritising cybersecurity risk
›Controls for inventory classification and KPIs for measuring protect and govern outcomes

›Baseline configuration — hardening standards, configuration management, and change control
›Business Impact Analysis (BIA) — business process criticality and protection prioritisation
›Business Continuity Plan (BCP) role in the protect function — maintaining service availability
›Maintenance and access control subcategory controls — least privilege, MFA, and PAM
›Awareness training, data security (encryption, DLP, IRM), and protective technology controls

›Anatomy of a breach — attack vectors, lateral movement, indicators of compromise
›Detection methods — log analysis, SIEM correlation rules, UBA, and deception technologies
›Continuous monitoring — real-time dashboards, threat feeds, and automated alerting
›Anomaly detection subcategories — events/anomalies, security continuous monitoring, detection processes
›Detection metrics — mean time to detect (MTTD), false positive rate, and coverage ratio

›Quantifying a security breach — blast radius assessment, data classification, and impact scoring
›Containment strategies — network isolation, endpoint quarantine, and credential rotation
›Incident Response Plan construction — RACI, escalation tiers, playbooks, and runbooks
›Communications plan — internal (exec, legal, HR), external (customers, media), and regulatory (GDPR, HIPAA) notifications
›After action review — timeline reconstruction, contributing factors, and corrective action tracking

›Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) — RTO/RPO targets, failover procedures, and DR site configurations
›Business Continuity Plan (BCP) supporting timely recovery — manual workarounds and service restoration priorities
›Return to business as usual — system validation, data integrity checks, and service reactivation checklist
›Business impact assessment — revenue loss quantification, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties
›Lessons learned integration — CSF profile updates, control enhancements, and staff retraining
