NIST CSF 2.0 & Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment
Benchmark security capability across GOVERN, IDENTIFY, PROTECT, DETECT, RESPOND and RECOVER.

The business problem
Why organizations bring this to us
Organizations need a way to answer "how good is our security?" that is more useful than a control count and more honest than a self-assessment. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 provides a widely understood structure for that conversation, including the GOVERN function that makes cybersecurity an enterprise governance concern rather than a technical one.
FaizZab assesses capability across all six functions, sets a target state proportionate to the organization’s risk, and sequences the gap into an improvement roadmap that can be funded.
Who this is for
- Organizations wanting an outcome-based view of security capability rather than a compliance checklist.
- Security leaders building a multi-year investment case.
- Companies benchmarking capability after growth, acquisition or a security incident.
- Businesses whose customers or insurers ask for a recognized maturity view.
Service scope
Assessment coverage
All six NIST CSF 2.0 functions are assessed, with current maturity, target maturity and the gap between them stated per function.
GOVERN
Cybersecurity strategy, roles and responsibilities, policy, risk management strategy, oversight and supply chain risk governance.
IDENTIFY
Asset and data visibility, business environment, risk assessment practice and improvement processes.
PROTECT
Identity and access, awareness and training, data security, platform security and technology resilience.
DETECT
Continuous monitoring, event analysis and the ability to recognize adverse activity in useful time.
RESPOND
Incident management, analysis, response communication and mitigation capability.
RECOVER
Recovery planning and execution, and communication during and after recovery.
Methodology
How the assessment runs
Scope and risk profile
Establish the assessment boundary and the risk profile that determines an appropriate target state.
Evidence gathering
Review documentation, tooling output and records, and interview across security, IT and business.
Maturity rating
Rate each function and category against defined maturity criteria with supporting evidence.
Target state definition
Agree a proportionate target state per function rather than defaulting to the highest tier.
Roadmap
Sequence the gap into a prioritized, costed improvement roadmap.
What you receive
Key deliverables
- Current-state maturity rating across all six CSF 2.0 functions
- Category-level findings with supporting evidence
- Risk-proportionate target state definition
- Gap analysis between current and target state
- Prioritized multi-phase improvement roadmap
- Executive summary suitable for board and investment discussion
Outcome
A clear, defensible picture of security capability and where to invest next.
Commercial value
Why this service matters
A common language
CSF function language is understood by boards, customers and insurers, which makes the results usable outside the security team.
Proportionate targets
Defining a target state prevents the assumption that every organization should aim for maximum maturity everywhere.
A fundable roadmap
Sequenced improvement with clear outcomes is materially easier to fund than a list of gaps.
Questions
Common questions
Does this result in a NIST certification?
No. There is no NIST certification for the Cybersecurity Framework. The output is an independent maturity assessment aligned to the framework structure.
How does this compare to an ISO 27001 readiness assessment?
A CSF maturity assessment measures capability across security outcomes. An ISO 27001 readiness assessment tests conformity against a certifiable management system standard. They answer different questions and are often used together.
