Build Enterprise-Grade Security With NIST Framework — The Gold Standard for Federal Contracts and Cyber Insurance
We help businesses implement NIST CSF 1.1 and 2.0, NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171, NIST AI RMF, and NIST-SSDF to meet federal contract requirements, qualify for better insurance rates, and build resilient security programs that actually protect your business.
- ✓ NIST CSF 2.0 assessment across all 5 core functions (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover)
- ✓ NIST SP 800-53 controls for federal systems and NIST SP 800-171 for CMMC compliance
- ✓ Maturity scoring, gap analysis, and prioritized implementation roadmap
Why NIST Framework Is Becoming Universal
33%
Lower premium increases
Healthcare organizations using NIST saw 6% premium increases vs 18% for others (2024 Censinet/KLAS study)
$755B
Annual federal contracts
U.S. Government awarded $755B in contracts in FY 2024 (GAO report)
50%
Reduction in incidents
Average after NIST implementation – it actually works
Why NIST Framework Reduces Insurance Premiums
According to a 2024 report by Censinet and KLAS Research, healthcare organizations that used the NIST Cybersecurity Framework as their primary security framework reported premium increases that were 33% lower than those of their peers.
Study Findings
- 6% average increase for organizations using NIST framework
- 18% average increase for organizations without NIST
- Study conducted with American Hospital Association (AHA)
Why It Matters
- Large organizations saw 46% average increase without mature frameworks
- Medium organizations saw 50% average increase without frameworks
- Higher maturity in third-party risk = lower premium growth
How cybersecurity maturity affects insurance costs: Insurers consider an organization’s cybersecurity maturity a key factor when calculating premiums. Higher maturity—including the implementation of robust cybersecurity frameworks like NIST—demonstrates to insurers that an organization has a proactive strategy to reduce risk. This leads to more favorable insurance rates.
Organizations with less mature cybersecurity practices are viewed as higher-risk and may face challenges in acquiring and retaining coverage, in addition to experiencing extraordinary premium growth.

NIST Frameworks We Support
We help organizations implement multiple NIST standards based on their industry requirements and compliance needs.
NIST CSF 2.0
Cybersecurity Framework
The gold standard for enterprise security. Required by most cyber insurance providers. Covers Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover functions with new Govern function in 2.0.
NIST SP 800-53
Security Controls for Federal Systems
Required for federal contractors and agencies. Comprehensive catalog of security controls for information systems. Foundation for FedRAMP and FISMA compliance.
NIST SP 800-171
Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information
Required for defense contractors. Foundation for CMMC certification. 110 security requirements for protecting CUI in non-federal systems.
NIST CSF 1.1
Cybersecurity Framework v1.1
The established version widely adopted across industries. Five core functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Still accepted by most insurers and regulators.
NIST AI RMF 1.0
AI Risk Management Framework
Framework for managing AI-related risks. Addresses trustworthy and responsible AI development. Critical for organizations deploying AI systems.
NIST-SSDF
Secure Software Development Framework
Guidelines for secure software development practices. Helps mitigate software vulnerabilities. Required for federal software suppliers.
