Trusted CI Releases NSF Critical Controls Mapping to the CIS Controls

Trusted CI released a resource mapping the NSF Critical Controls to the CIS Controls (v8.1). This resource was designed to help organizations understand and apply the NSF Critical Controls by highlighting the equivalent CIS Safeguards, alongside Trusted CI commentary. This mapping represents Trusted CI’s interpretation and translation of the NSF language used for each control.  



Looking Ahead

Trusted CI plans to add mappings for other established cybersecurity standards, such as NIST SP 800-171, as well as case studies of how institutions are implementing these controls. If you have any questions or think you might be a good candidate for a case study on implementing an NSF Critical Control, please reach out to info@trustedci.org.
