The framework

What is the NIST CSF?

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a voluntary, outcomes-based model published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It gives organizations of any size a common language for describing their security program — without prescribing a specific certification path.

CSF 2.0 introduced the Govern function, formalizing that cybersecurity is a business-risk discipline, not just an IT concern. Combined with the five original functions — Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover — it gives you a shared vocabulary with the board, regulators, customers, and auditors.

Chequr turns the CSF from a slide deck into an operating system: live profiles, tier progression you can prove, and every outcome wired to evidence that already flows from your stack.

The six functions

Every function, instrumented

Categories and subcategories pre-mapped to your stack — with live evidence for every outcome.

GVFunction

Govern

Organizational context, risk strategy, roles and responsibilities, policy, and oversight tied to continuous evidence.

IDFunction

Identify

Asset inventory, business environment, risk assessment, and supply-chain mapping that refresh themselves.

PRFunction

Protect

Identity, access, data security, platform hardening, and awareness training — all with live control attestations.

DEFunction

Detect

Continuous monitoring signals aggregated across your stack, correlated to outcomes and flagged against the profile.

RSFunction

Respond

Incident playbooks, comms workflows, and forensic capture — orchestrated from the moment an alert triggers.

RCFunction

Recover

Recovery planning, communications, and post-incident improvement loops with auto-generated lessons-learned.

How Chequr does it

From self-assessment to evidence-driven profile

Four pillars turn the CSF from a framework you describe into one you continuously operate.

Your CSF profile, built from real data

Chequr pulls from your infrastructure, IdP, ticketing, and HRIS to draft a current profile — not a self-reported survey.

Tier progression you can prove

Movement from Tier 1 (Partial) to Tier 4 (Adaptive) tracked by outcome, with gap plans generated automatically.

Board-ready maturity reporting

Function-by-function scoring, trend charts, and peer benchmarks in a report the CISO can read to the board verbatim.

Cross-mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA

Evidence you collect for CSF satisfies controls across every other framework — multiplied across hundreds of mappings.

Timeline

From kickoff to a living profile

A realistic CSF journey — with Chequr shortening every phase.

Day 1

Connect your stack

One-click integrations inventory every asset, user, and control surface that feeds the Identify function.

Week 1

Baseline the current profile

AI scores each CSF outcome against evidence already in your environment and surfaces where you stand today.

Week 2

Set the target profile

Pick the tier and outcomes aligned to your risk appetite. Gap plans, owners, and dates are generated automatically.

Week 4

Governance & policies live

Policies tied to the Govern function go live, acknowledgements land in inboxes, and control monitoring activates.

Quarter 1

Continuous monitoring & tuning

Detect-function signals stream in continuously. Remediation nudges land in Jira, not in a quarterly review deck.

Ongoing

Maturity compounding

Tier progression, board reporting, and cross-framework reuse turn CSF into the operating system of your security program.
