Understanding the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a voluntary set of guidelines and practices designed to help organizations manage and reduce cybersecurity risks. Developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, it focuses on five core functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
The framework is adaptable to various industries and is widely used in healthcare to improve data security and operational resilience. Some key NIST guidelines for healthcare include:
- NIST 800-53: Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations
- NIST 800-66: Implementing the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule
CORL and Meditology leverage the NIST framework to guide healthcare organizations in assessing their cybersecurity posture and implementing effective risk management strategies.
