The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF 2.0, released 2024) provides a common language and structured approach — now spanning Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover — that organisations use to assess and improve their cybersecurity posture, and that regulators, insurers, and board members use as a baseline for cybersecurity programme evaluation. Zero Trust architecture maps comprehensively to CSF Protect and Detect functions, providing the access controls, continuous monitoring, and anomaly detection that the framework requires, and CSF alignment is increasingly referenced in cyber insurance applications, M&A due diligence, and regulatory guidance.
