NIST CSF 2.0 Assessments

Evaluate your cybersecurity program against NIST CSF 2.0 with structured, independent assessments.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is one of the most widely adopted tools for managing cyber risk. With the release of version 2.0 in February 2024, it’s been significantly updated to meet today’s evolving security landscape.

At Insight Assurance, we deliver third-party NIST CSF assessments built on the new 2.0 standard. Our multi-stage process includes stakeholder interviews, in-depth control reviews, and tailored reporting that helps your organization understand where you stand today and how to mature over time.

What Is NIST CSF 2.0?

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a voluntary, risk-based framework developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It helps organizations of all sizes manage and reduce cybersecurity risks in a structured, repeatable way.


Version 2.0 is the first major update to the framework since its initial release in 2014. Key changes include:

Expanded Scope

CSF 2.0 is now explicitly designed for organizations of all sizes and types, not just critical infrastructure.

New Governance Function

The framework adds a sixth function (Govern) to help organizations better manage risk decisions, roles, and responsibilities.

Updated Categories

Language and structure have been refined to improve clarity and applicability.

Implementation Tiers

Tiers (1–4) now map more clearly to maturity and risk tolerance.
These updates make CSF 2.0 more actionable, flexible, and aligned with broader enterprise risk management strategies.

Why Conduct a NIST CSF 2.0 Assessment?

A formal assessment helps your organization move beyond guesswork and informal self-assessments. It gives you:
