The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a framework developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help organizations manage and reduce their cybersecurity risks. In addition to the core functions of the CSF, the framework also includes four levels or “tiers” that provide guidance on how organizations can implement the framework and improve their security posture. In this blog post, we’ll focus on the Repeatable tier, which is the third tier in the CSF.
The Repeatable tier indicates that an organization has a mature security program and has established processes for implementing and maintaining security controls. At this level, an organization has well-defined policies and procedures for implementing and maintaining security controls, and regularly reviews and updates those controls to keep up with changing threats and technologies.
One of the key characteristics of the Repeatable tier is that an organization has established processes for implementing and maintaining security controls. This means that the organization has defined policies and procedures for implementing and maintaining security controls, and has a clear understanding of who is responsible for implementing and maintaining those controls. This helps ensure that security controls are consistently applied across the organization, and that they are regularly reviewed and updated to keep up with changing threats and technologies.
Another characteristic of the Repeatable tier is that an organization regularly assesses its security posture and makes adjustments as needed. This means that the organization regularly conducts risk assessments, security testing, and other activities to assess its security posture, and makes adjustments as needed to improve its security posture. This helps ensure that the organization’s security posture remains effective and up-to-date, and that it can keep up.
