Many small businesses struggle to implement robust security measures due to limited resources. Here’s some good news: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a helping hand specifically for you. Their recently released NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) Small Enterprise Quick Start Guide offers a simplified approach to information security risk management.
Feeling overwhelmed by cybersecurity? You’re not alone. The NIST RMF framework is an easy guide for small businesses to understand and implement.
The guide serves as a starting point, not a replacement for the full RMF framework. It focuses on the essential activities of identifying, assessing, prioritizing, responding to, and monitoring risks. By following these steps, you can establish a basic security posture that protects your valuable data and systems from cyberattacks. If your business grows or your security needs become more complex, you can leverage the full RMF for a more comprehensive approach. In the meantime, this quick start guide equips you with the foundational knowledge to navigate the world of cybersecurity risk management and safeguard your business.
