ISF, NIST Partner to Create Online Informative References for Cybersecurity Standards, Frameworks
The Information Security Forum (ISF) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are partnering as part of a pilot project to create Online Informative References (OLIRs) between information security standards and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).
As part of this pilot scheme, the ISF has produced an OLIR between the ISF’s Standard of Good Practice for Information Security 2018 (The Standard) and the NIST CSF Version 1.1. “Many security practitioners are overwhelmed with recommendations on how to provide cybersecurity from the media, vendors, standards bodies and more,” said Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF. “The ISF, the Standard and this OLIR provides a practical and clear path in how to adopt and use the CSF and, in doing so, tackle many other challenges associated with cybersecurity and information risk management. Current and potential ISF Members can demonstrate to business executives, supply chain partners, customers and other parties how adoption and implementation of the Standard both meets, and exceeds, the requirements set out in the CSF.”
