NIST Cybersecurity Framework

Best Practice Guide for Cybersecurity

NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) is a framework designed to assess, manage and improve cybersecurity risks. The core framework is centred around five functions; Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover.

NIST Framework Core and CopyAssure

How will it help my business?

NIST Explained

Each of the 5 core functions play an integral part in the cybersecurity risk management process. By following the NIST processes, organisations can improve their ability to prevent, detect and respond to a cyber incident.

How does CopyAssure fit in?

Our CopyAssure Managed Service along with IBM Flashsystem storage and infrastructure delivers an end to end solution which overlays the NIST Framework.

In the event of a breach, we have a team dedicated to supporting you through the recovery process. Our service will provide you with a clean copy of your data, in a safe environment in a matter of minutes – ready for you to assess. Once the copy has been verified your backup can be restored to the live environment.
