Learn NIST CSF 2.0, master all six Functions, build Profiles, assess gaps, measure results, and create a roadmap.
What you'll learn

Explain the purpose, structure, and major changes of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0

Navigate the CSF Core from Functions and Categories to Subcategories and cybersecurity outcomes

Apply the Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover Functions to cybersecurity risk

Create Current and Target Organizational Profiles based on business needs, risks, and priorities

Analyze and prioritize gaps between current capabilities and desired cybersecurity outcomes

Use CSF Tiers appropriately without treating them as maturity scores or certification levels

Build a practical CSF implementation roadmap with owners, dependencies, milestones, and measures

Communicate cybersecurity risks, progress, options, and resource needs to organizational leadership
Requirements

No previous experience with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework is required

Basic familiarity with cybersecurity, information technology, risk, or compliance is helpful but not required

No specialized software, certification, or technical laboratory environment is needed
Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Master the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and learn how to turn its guidance into practical cybersecurity risk management decisions.
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework-commonly called the NIST CSF-is one of the world's most widely recognized approaches to managing cybersecurity risk. NIST CSF 2.0 expands the Framework beyond critical infrastructure, strengthens its focus on cybersecurity governance, and introduces the new Govern Function alongside Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
But understanding the names of the six Functions isn't enough.
This course explains how the NIST CSF 2.0 works as an integrated, outcome-based framework-and how organizations can use it to understand risk, establish priorities, evaluate current capabilities, define desired outcomes, and build a practical cybersecurity improvement roadmap.
You'll move beyond memorizing terminology and learn how the CSF Core, Organizational Profiles, Implementation Tiers, Implementation Examples, and Informative References work together. You'll also see why the CSF describes cybersecurity outcomes rather than prescribing a universal list of controls.
Throughout the course, you'll follow HarborPoint Client Services, a realistic case study that demonstrates how an organization can apply CSF 2.0 concepts to a business environment. You'll examine organizational context, governance, assets, risk assessments, safeguards, monitoring, incident response, recovery, evidence, measurement, Profile gaps, and implementation planning.
What you'll learn
By the end of this course, you'll be able to

Explain the purpose, structure, and benefits of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0

Describe the major changes introduced in CSF 2.0

Navigate the CSF Core from Function to Category to Subcategory

Interpret CSF outcomes without confusing them with controls or required activities

Explain how Govern continuously directs the other five CSF Functions

Understand the purpose of Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover

Relate cybersecurity activities to organizational objectives, stakeholders, obligations, and risk tolerance

Use Implementation Examples without treating them as mandatory requirements

Use Informative References to connect CSF outcomes with standards, controls, and implementation guidance

Establish an appropriate scope for a CSF Organizational Profile

Build simplified Current and Target Profiles

Identify and prioritize gaps between current and desired cybersecurity outcomes

Apply the four CSF Tiers without treating them as maturity scores or certification levels

Evaluate evidence supporting the achievement of CSF outcomes

Select cybersecurity measures that support real management decisions

Distinguish activity, performance, effectiveness, and risk measures

Build a practical, risk-informed CSF implementation roadmap

Communicate cybersecurity progress, exposure, residual risk, and resource needs to leadership
Explore all six NIST CSF 2.0 Functions
The course provides structured coverage of

Govern - Organizational context, risk management strategy, roles and responsibilities, policy, oversight, and cybersecurity supply chain risk management

Identify - Asset management, cybersecurity risk assessment, dependencies, vulnerabilities, threats, and improvement opportunities

Protect - Identity management, authentication, access control, awareness and training, data security, platform security, and infrastructure resilience

Detect - Continuous monitoring, adverse event analysis, detection criteria, and escalation

Respond - Incident management, analysis, communication, reporting, and mitigation

Recover - Recovery-plan execution, service restoration, validation, stakeholder communication, and lessons learned
Learn how to apply the Framework
This isn't simply a tour through NIST terminology. The course includes practical exercises and reusable worksheets that help you

Locate and interpret CSF outcomes

Distinguish outcomes, actions, controls, and evidence

Analyze Implementation Examples and Informative References

Define the scope and context of an Organizational Profile

Document a simplified Current Profile

Create a deliberate Target Profile

Analyze and prioritize Profile gaps

Evaluate evidence and measurement quality

Improve weak cybersecurity metrics

Convert prioritized gaps into an actionable implementation roadmap

Prepare decision-oriented cybersecurity communication for leadership
