- Does your organization have a cyber supply chain risk management processes are identified, established, assessed, managed, and agreed to by organizational stakeholders?
- How is it working with the finance, compliance and/or risk function to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its compliance management program and processes?
- Have internal and external stakeholders for external dependencies management activities been identified and made aware of the cybersecurity roles?
- Do your storage management capabilities support and align with the ways in which you classify, manage and protect your organizational data?
- How is it working with internal audit to ensure that the data and information governance program is an effective risk management mechanism?
- Which NIST cybersecurity framework functions currently poses the toughest challenge for it security operations at your organization?
Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:

STEP 3: Implement, Track, follow up and revise strategy
The outcomes of STEP 2, the self assessment, are the inputs for STEP 3; Start and manage NIST Cybersecurity Framework projects with the 62 implementation resources:
- 62 step-by-step NIST Cybersecurity Framework Project Management Form Templates covering over 1500 NIST Cybersecurity Framework project requirements and success criteria:
Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:
- Procurement Audit: Was the formal review of requests to participate or evaluation of bids correctly undertaken?
- Procurement Audit: Is it calculated whether aggregated procurement can be more cost-efficient?
- Team Directory: Timing: when do the effects of communication take place?
- Human Resource Management Plan: Are the appropriate IT resources adequate to meet planned commitments?
- Assumption and Constraint Log: Do the requirements meet the standards of correctness, completeness, consistency, accuracy, and readability?
- Lessons Learned: How effectively were issues managed on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework project?
- Change Request: How do you get changes (code) out in a timely manner?
- Initiating Process Group: What were the challenges that you encountered during the execution of a previous NIST Cybersecurity Framework project that you would not want to repeat?
- Procurement Management Plan: Does all NIST Cybersecurity Framework project documentation reside in a common repository for easy access?
- Scope Management Plan: Is the steering committee active in NIST Cybersecurity Framework project oversight?

Results
With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any NIST Cybersecurity Framework project with this in-depth NIST Cybersecurity Framework Toolkit.
In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:
- Diagnose NIST Cybersecurity Framework projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices
- Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals
- Integrate recent advances in NIST Cybersecurity Framework and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines
Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.
Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'
This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make NIST Cybersecurity Framework investments work better.
This NIST Cybersecurity Framework All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
