The NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Small Business Quick Start Guide is designed to assist small and medium-sized businesses in kick-starting their cybersecurity risk management strategy using the flexible CSF 2.0, which helps organizations understand, assess, prioritize, and communicate cybersecurity efforts
The guide, introduced as part of the National Small Business Week celebrations, provides an overview of the CSF, categorizing cybersecurity outcomes into Functions (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover) to offer a comprehensive view of managing cybersecurity risk. Each page of the guide is organized with 'Actions to Consider,' 'Getting Started,' 'Questions to Consider,' and 'Additional Resources,' all focusing on progressing through the stages of understanding, assessing, prioritizing, and communicating cybersecurity efforts. With a focus on aiding small businesses without existing cybersecurity plans, the guide serves as an introduction and initial step towards implementing effective risk management practices. It emphasizes that cybersecurity is a continuous journey and provides resources for businesses to delve deeper as their needs evolve and their reliance on technology grows. https://www.nist.gov/node/1845051
