Translate NIST, CIS, & ISO Cybersecurity Maturity Into Actionable Data
Although the NIST CSF, CIS Controls, and ISO frameworks offers standardized guidelines for improving an organization's cyber posture and can demonstrate progress, they do not reveal the insights necessary for creating action plans. For example, while an upgrade in an implementation tier undoubtedly leads to a more secure environment, it's difficult to know which business pillar should be invested in next.
With Kovrr's free CIS, ISO, and NIST CSF Control Assessment, however, CISOs can translate their cyber postures and maturity levels into objective figures that reveal their relative standings within the framework. Leveraging this information, cybersecurity leaders can then create customized strategies, allocating resources to the control groups that fall short of optimal maturity ratios.

Streamline Communication With the Board and C-Suite
NIST's cybersecurity maturity model was, in large part, designed to help cybersecurity leaders communicate cyber risk to the board and other non-technical stakeholders. The CIS Controls framework and ISO 27001, too, support a high-level understanding of cybersecurity. However, executives still find it challenging to comprehend the extent to which their organizations have implemented the framework.
By translating a company's ISO, CIS, and NIST maturity levels into quantified ratios and illustrating other key insights, Kovrr's free Control Assessment facilitates meaningful communication. Key stakeholders will grasp how well the cybersecurity department is contributing to the business’s ability to operate safely within the risky digital landscape and will, therefore, be more likely to allocate the necessary resources to accelerate progress.

Demonstrate Cybersecurity Effectiveness Over Time
Leverage Kovrr's free Control Assessment for NIST CSF, ISO, CIS, and other cybersecurity frameworks every quarter to highlight how much your organization's cybersecurity posture has matured over time. Track maturity ratios as they increase and utilize helpful dashboards in high-level meetings to demonstrate to the C-suite and board members that their investments are increasing and signify the business's preparedness and resilience in the wake of an attack.
CISOs can also harness these quantified benchmarks to justify additional spending requests. Equipped with the objective figures that underscore continuous improvement, budget-makers are much more likely to allocate additional resources to the cybersecurity department, understanding the positive, long-term effects their financial decisions are producing.

CIS, ISO, and NIST Cybersecurity Framework FAQs
What is the NIST CSF Control Assessment?
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework is a set of guidelines created to help organizations assess and subsequently enhance cybersecurity risk management practices. The NIST framework is organized into six categories (identify, protect, detect, respond, recover, and govern), all of which can be evaluated according to different implementation levels.
Kovrr’s free Control Assessment allows CISOs and other cybersecurity GRC leaders to assess their maturity levels according to the NIST framework and evaluate if their current posture is acceptable or needs improvement.
Why should I upgrade my ISO, CIS, or NIST assessment with CRQ?
Although conducting a NIST cybersecurity maturity assessment, or a Control Assessment for ISO or CIS, provides a structured context for interpreting an organization's cyber posture, these evaluations often lack actionable insights that can be used to prioritize initiatives. By enhancing the results with a cyber risk quantification, the implementation levels are translated into objective data that can be used to drive decisions. Ultimately, it's much more useful to know that an organization has a 20% likelihood of experiencing a data breach as opposed to knowing a specific control has reached a Tier 4 maturity level.
What quantified data do I get with Kovrr’s free NIST tool?
Kovrr's free Cybersecurity Control Assessment for the NIST CSF, ISO, and CIS frameworks provides maturity ratios that can demonstrate the relative maturity of control implementation according to the various pillars. By translating an organization's maturity levels into objectively quantified figures, CISOs and cyber risk managers can much more easily communicate with stakeholders regarding how well they've executed their chosen framework. The numerical ratios likewise enable cybersecurity leaders to quickly demonstrate how their maturity has progressed over time, inspiring further investment and trust amongst key stakeholders.
What additional information do I get with Kovrr’s full CRQ platform?
While Kovrr's free ISO 27001, CIS Controls, and NIST assessment tool offers highly valuable insights, organizations can gain even more information with the full platform version. Our CRQ solution allows companies to input their NIST maturity levels, along with their unique organizational structure, subsequently generating an in-depth evaluation that reveals the likelihood of experiencing various cyber events in combination with their respective financial damages.
With the quantified financial information, CISOs and cybersecurity leaders can much more easily communicate with non-executive stakeholders, helping to guide risk appetite and tolerance thresholds and other budget allocation decisions. Kovrr's CRQ platform also breaks down these potential losses according to various scenarios, allowing for even more targeted, cost-effective risk mitigation strategies.
