NIST CSF 2.0 Compliance Software
NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. Narrate gives you everything you need to implement and maintain NIST CSF 2.0 — covering all six core functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
What is NIST CSF 2.0?
NIST CSF 2.0 (Cybersecurity Framework) is the updated cybersecurity framework published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Released in 2024, version 2.0 introduces the Govern function alongside the original five — Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover — placing cybersecurity governance at the centre of the framework. Unlike its predecessor, CSF 2.0 is designed for organisations of all sizes and sectors, not just critical infrastructure. It is widely adopted globally as a flexible, outcomes-based approach to managing cybersecurity risk, with support for organisational profiles and maturity tiers.
How Narrate helps with NIST CSF 2.0
Common NIST CSF 2.0 challenges
Implementing CSF 2.0 trips up even experienced teams. Here's what slows people down.
Framework Function Coverage
CSF 2.0 spans six functions with dozens of categories and subcategories, making it difficult to ensure comprehensive coverage across the entire organisation.
Governance Integration
The new Govern function in CSF 2.0 requires embedding cybersecurity into enterprise risk management, strategy, and board-level oversight — a significant shift for many organisations.
Supply Chain Risk
CSF 2.0 places greater emphasis on cybersecurity supply chain risk management, requiring visibility into third-party practices and contractual safeguards.
Maturity Tier Assessment
Determining your current and target implementation tiers requires honest self-assessment and structured evidence to demonstrate progress toward higher maturity levels.
