About NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 was published in February 2024, replacing the long-standing 1.1 version. It expands from 5 to 6 Functions by adding GOVERN (a cross-cutting function covering governance, strategy and supply chain) and broadens applicability beyond critical infrastructure to organisations of any sector and size. Each Function contains Categories and Subcategories representing cybersecurity outcomes.

Issuing Body

US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Edition

2024

Coverage

6 Functions, 22 Categories of cybersecurity outcomes — a flexible framework applicable to any sector, size or jurisdiction.

Typical Users

Critical infrastructure operators, federal contractors, supply-chain partners, and any organisation managing cybersecurity risk.

How to use this tool

1. Work through each clause. For each requirement, choose Compliant, Partial, Non-compliant, or leave as Not assessed.

2. Add notes against any requirement to record evidence, gaps, or corrective actions.

3. Click Save progress in the sidebar — data is stored locally in your browser, never uploaded.

What is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework gap analysis tool and how does it work?
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework gap analysis tool is a free browser-based checklist that compares your current management system against the clauses of NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework. You answer clause-by-clause questions and rate each requirement as Compliant, Partial or Non-compliant. The tool calculates a live compliance score, highlights gaps on a heat-map, captures evidence and corrective-action notes, and exports the full assessment as JSON, CSV, TXT or print-ready PDF for management review and Stage 1 / Stage 2 audit preparation.
Is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework gap analysis tool really free to use?
Yes — the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework tool is 100% free with no sign-up, no email capture, no credit card, no watermarks, and no usage limits. It runs entirely in your browser; nothing is transmitted to ISO Xpert servers. You can clear or export your data at any time.
Where is my NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework assessment data stored?
All NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework assessment data is stored locally in your browser’s storage. Nothing is uploaded to our servers. This makes the tool GDPR-friendly and suitable for confidential audit data classified up to Restricted. Export anytime as JSON (re-importable), CSV (Excel-pivotable), TXT (executive summary) or PDF (audit-trail evidence).
Can I use this tool to prepare for NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework certification or surveillance audits?
Yes. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework gap analysis is designed to support preparation for certification by UKAS-, IAS- or ANAB-accredited bodies. Use the exported report as evidence of internal audit, feed it into management review, and prioritise high-severity non-conformities ahead of Stage 1 / Stage 2 visits. ISO Xpert consultants can assist with documented information, internal audits and full implementation if required.
How long does a NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework gap analysis typically take?
Most users complete an initial NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework gap analysis in 60 to 120 minutes for a single site, depending on system maturity and clause depth. The tool auto-saves continuously, so you can pause, switch devices via JSON export/import, and resume at any time. Re-assessments after corrective action usually take 20 to 40 minutes.
