NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Lead Auditor

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 is now the global go-to strategy for establishing, managing, and maintaining comprehensive cybersecurity across the enterprise.

Assessing the organization’s cybersecurity program against the key capabilities and objectives is the cornerstone of cybersecurity improvement and optimization. Internal and external stakeholders have a vested interest in managing cyber risk, and measuring the organization’s cybersecurity processes, procedures, and controls against desired cybersecurity objectives provides the basis for identifying critical risk exposures and opportunities for improvement. NIST CSF 2.0 now provides 107 desired cybersecurity outcomes/objectives along with 367 implementation recommendations. In two short days, our certified NIST CSF 2.0 expert will lead you and your team through a hands-on assessment of these very implementation tasks. The Certified NIST CSF 2.0 LA certification validates your ability to audit and assess the formal structure, governance, and policy of a robust cybersecurity framework following internationally recognized and respected NIST best practices and standards.

Course Objectives

This 2-day NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 workshop provides thorough coverage of the CSF, as well as setting out advice on the implementation of cybersecurity initiative. The purpose of the course is to:

• Provide thorough coverage of NIST CSF 2.0’s 103 Core desired outcomes and 367 recommended tasks;
• Understand how to measure and monitor an organization’s cybersecurity risk management maturity tiers;
• Prepare you for your NIST CSF certification exam required for Certified NIST CSF 2.0 Lead Auditor professional credentialing. Please note that the NIST CSF 2.0 Lead Auditor certification is a stacking credential that requires current CIS Certified NIST CSF 2.0 Lead Implementer certification as a prerequisite for Lead Auditor certification eligibility. The Lead Auditor program extends CSF 2.0 Lead Implementer knowledge with an advanced understanding of how to assess and audit the 103 goals and objectives of NIST CSF 2.0 and its 367 corresponding recommended implementation tasks.
