Risk & Compliance
Quantify cyber posture, business exposure, target gaps, and remediation priorities using a NIST CSF 2.0 aligned model.
This professional planning tool assesses Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover across current maturity, target maturity, evidence strength, business impact, threat pressure, and regulatory exposure. It produces a board-ready risk posture summary, target profile gap, residual risk estimate, and prioritized remediation roadmap.

This tool supports planning, prioritization, and executive communication. It does not certify compliance, prove control operating effectiveness, or replace formal audit, penetration testing, tabletop exercises, or cyber risk quantification using verified loss data.
This calculator is aligned with NIST CSF 2.0 concepts but remains a planning model. Treat the score as a decision aid, not as proof of compliance or control operating effectiveness.
Start with industry, organization size, regulatory pressure, data sensitivity, threat pressure, and business impact. These inputs stop the score from pretending that every organization has the same risk profile.
Govern covers strategy, policy, roles, accountability, supplier oversight, and risk appetite. If security ownership is unclear, policies are stale, or the board receives no usable risk reporting, this area should score below target even if technical tooling is strong.
You cannot protect what you cannot see. This pillar evaluates your asset management and risk understanding. If your IT team uses spreadsheets to track laptops and servers, select "Partial." If you use automated discovery tools and conduct annual risk assessments, select "Managed."
This covers your active defenses. Are you using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) everywhere? Is data encrypted at rest? Are employees trained to spot phishing? Select "Optimized" only if you have implemented strict Zero Trust network access.
If a hacker bypasses your protections, how long will it take you to notice? This pillar measures your visibility. Relying solely on antivirus is "Partial." Using an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tool with centralized logging is "Managed."
When the alarms go off, what happens? "None" means panic and confusion. "Managed" means you have a documented Incident Response plan and assigned roles. "Optimized" means your systems automatically isolate infected machines without human intervention.
If ransomware wipes your primary network, can you rebuild? This is the ultimate safety net. Select "Partial" if you have backups but have never tested restoring them. "Managed" requires tested, off-site backups. "Optimized" requires immutable backups that cannot be destroyed by hackers.
The calculator combines the six CSF 2.0 functions into a weighted maturity score, compares current state to target state, adjusts confidence based on evidence, and estimates residual risk using threat, impact, sensitivity, and regulatory context.
By shifting from generic risk concepts to the six NIST CSF 2.0 functions, this tool gives leaders a shared language for security governance, control maturity, response readiness, and risk treatment.
Many companies spend heavily on "Protect" but underfund Govern, Detect, Respond, and Recover. The current-vs-target table highlights unbalanced security investment and shows where weak evidence makes the score less trustworthy.
Board members rarely understand the technical difference between EDR and Antivirus. However, they easily understand a score out of 100 and a maturity tier. This tool translates technical configurations into business risk metrics.
Use this tool to justify security spend. If Recover or Detect is below target, the roadmap makes the budget ask more concrete: what to fix, why it matters, and how it changes maturity, residual risk, and evidence confidence.
It is a set of guidelines, best practices, and standards created by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help organizations manage and reduce cybersecurity risk.
Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Govern emphasizes risk strategy, policy, roles, oversight, and accountability.
You cannot defend what you don't know you have. The Identify pillar ensures you have a full inventory of all hardware, software, and data assets, which is the foundation of any security program.
An immutable backup is mathematically locked and cannot be altered or deleted for a set period, even by an administrator. This ensures ransomware actors cannot encrypt your backups.
Protect involves setting up walls (firewalls, MFA, encryption) to stop attackers. Detect involves setting up cameras and alarms (logging, EDR) to notice when an attacker has climbed over those walls.
It means your security processes are formally documented, consistently enforced across the organization, and regularly reviewed. It is the target state for most non-defense organizations.
No. This is a high-level self-assessment tool. True compliance (like SOC 2 or HIPAA) requires a formal audit by a certified third-party firm.
While designed for enterprises, the core concepts apply to anyone. A small business can hit Tier 2/3 by using cloud services that handle much of the heavy lifting (like Office 365 or Google Workspace with strict security settings enabled).
A written document outlining exactly who does what when a cyber attack occurs. It includes technical steps for containment, legal requirements for reporting, and PR steps for customer communication.
Most organizations overestimate their security until they measure it against a strict framework. A low score usually indicates an over-reliance on basic tools (like simple antivirus) and a lack of formal governance or testing.
