Framework implementation tiers

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework includes four implementation tiers: Partial, Risk Informed, Repeatable, and Adaptive. The tiers provide a way to assess an organization’s cybersecurity maturity and readiness, and to identify areas for improvement. The tiers are based on the organization’s risk management processes, cybersecurity controls, and threat awareness and can be used to guide cybersecurity investments and prioritize cybersecurity efforts.
