NIST (139 Procedures)

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework was developed in response to Executive Order 13636, which called for a standardized security framework for critical infrastructure in the United States. Recognizing the growing complexity and frequency of cyber threats, NIST aimed to create a voluntary, risk-based approach to managing cybersecurity risk. The framework was designed to be flexible and adaptable, applicable to organizations of all sizes across various sectors, fostering improved cybersecurity practices nationwide.

"PCI DSS embodies an ethical mandate for businesses to protect consumer financial data, fostering trust and resilience in the global payment ecosystem through rigorous security practices."

NIST's cybersecurity efforts, including the framework and associated controls (such as those outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-53), were conceived to provide a common language and systematic methodology for managing cybersecurity risk. The framework's core functions - Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover - offer a strategic view of the lifecycle of an organization's management of cybersecurity risk.
