IoT Security Maturity Model NIST Cybersecurity Framework Mappings

This whitepaper presents the IoT Security Maturity Model (SMM) in relation to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) version 1.1. It is designed for organizations aiming to enhance their security maturity by utilizing the NIST CSF guidance alongside the SMM developed by the Industry IoT Consortium. The document outlines the taxonomy of cybersecurity outcomes provided by the NIST CSF, which includes categories such as Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. The SMM offers a comprehensive set of practices that encompass governance, hardening, and enablement outcomes. The whitepaper details how these two frameworks can be integrated to improve organizational communication and security. It also discusses the availability of mappings that relate the SMM to various industry standards and practices, including those from the International Society of Automation. The document serves as a guide for practitioners to effectively use both the NIST CSF and the SMM to address security challenges.
