NIST Cybersecurity Framework Policy Template Guide

This guide serves as a resource for participants of the Nationwide Cybersecurity Review (NCSR) and members of the Multi-State Information Sharing & Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) to assist in the application and advancement of cybersecurity policies. It provides policy templates that can be customized and used as outlines for organizational policies, with additional details to be added by the end user. The guide correlates 49 subcategories of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) with applicable policy and standard templates. Each subcategory is represented by a text identifier, such as 'ID.AM-5', which corresponds to specific functions within the framework. The templates are intended to be a baseline for end users, although they may not reference the most recent NIST revisions. The document outlines various NIST functions including governance, identification, protection, detection, response, and recovery, detailing the roles and responsibilities associated with each function.
