Component 1: Framework Core

The core component of NIST CSF is “a set of activities to achieve specific cybersecurity outcomes, and references examples of guidance to achieve those outcomes.” It’s broken down into four elements:

Functions: There are five functions used to organize cybersecurity efforts: identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover. Together, these form a top-level approach to securing systems and responding to threats.

Categories: Each function contains categories used to identify specific tasks or challenges. For example, the protect function could include access control, regular software updates, and anti-malware programs.

Subcategories: These are further divisions of categories with specific objectives. The software updates category could be divided into tasks such as ensuring Windows updates are configured properly.

Informative References: Documentation, steps for execution, standards, and other guidelines fall into this category. A prime example in the manual Windows update category is a document outlining steps to manually update Windows PCs…

Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) in the payment card industry involves deploying a recognized solution by the PCI council, where hardware, processes, and technology undergo rigorous testing against the current P2PE Standard v3.1 or earlier versions. The P2PE standard combines a recognized and certified PTS device with software and encryption methods to allow cardholder data to be encrypted upon swipe and transmitted encrypted throughout the merchant environment until decrypted within a decryption environment, inaccessible to the merchant.
