The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) has long been a cornerstone for organizations seeking to strengthen cyber resilience. With version 2.0, NIST has expanded the framework to six core functions — Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover — giving CISOs and business leaders a structured way to manage risk and demonstrate accountability.

Yet many organizations still struggle to translate framework adoption into day-to-day security operations. That’s where Nanitor’s Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform changes the game. Nanitor automates the mapping, monitoring, and reporting of controls and compliance gaps, making NIST CSF adoption both actionable and measurable across the enterprise.

NIST CSF 2.0 Core Functions — and How Nanitor Aligns

NIST CSF 2.0 introduces six key functions. Here’s how Nanitor empowers CISOs to operationalize each one:

• Govern: Clear dashboards and compliance-based overviews monitor risk posture, align policy with regulatory expectations, and simplify executive reporting.

• Identify: Automated discovery of assets, configurations, and vulnerabilities — mapped directly to NIST CSF categories.

• Protect: Continuous checks for patch, configuration, and vulnerability management controls, with effectiveness tracked over time.

• Detect: Real-time monitoring and drift detection surface exposures before they escalate into incidents.

• Respond & Recover: Built-in remediation workflows, change tracking, and audit-ready records enable fast incident response and streamlined recovery documentation.

Why CISOs Choose Nanitor for NIST CSF

For security leaders, the challenge isn’t knowing what needs to be done — it’s having the tools to do it effectively with limited resources. Nanitor delivers:

• Automated Compliance Mapping: Every asset and issue is linked to NIST CSF categories for an always-current compliance view.

• Prioritization & Remediation: Risks are ranked by impact, ensuring teams focus where it matters most.

• Integrated Reporting: Technical findings are translated into executive-ready dashboards and reports.

• Collaboration & Workflow: Security, IT, and business owners can coordinate action, aligning with NIST’s emphasis on shared responsibility.

• Audit-Readiness: Change logs, compliance mappings, and continuous evidence reduce the burden of audits and regulatory checks.

Moving Beyond Compliance to Cyber Resilience

Adopting NIST CSF is not just about “checking the box.” With Nanitor, CISOs can move from static compliance to continuous cyber resilience. The CTEM approach ensures that gaps are identified, prioritized, and resolved in real time - without overwhelming teams or overextending budgets.

Nanitor provides the clarity, automation, and visibility needed to make NIST CSF alignment sustainable, measurable, and impactful.
