Protecting Vital Data With NIST Framework

LocusView Solutions, a Chicago-based subsidiary of the Gas Technology Institute (GTI), applied the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to pass penetration tests and compliance auditing in 2015.

LocusView provides a SaaS solutions to the natural gas industry, and wanted to go beyond standard regulatory compliance to save money and streamline the audit process.

As organizations spend more time and efforts to fight data breaches and fears of fallout from a data loss, IT teams like LocusView can begin comparing existing cybersecurity practices to the NIST Framework to quickly identify any gaps in pinpointing, assessing, and managing risks in their networks.

The NIST Framework was created for critical infrastructure — banking, aviation, defense —  all organizations can easily apply the principles to their operations. While traditional audit-focused standards value policies and checklists, NIST’s risk-based approach focuses on business and customers.

As part of an in-depth audit, LocusView used the NIST Framework to ensure everything from customer data to cloud-based networks are truly secure.

Key learning points:
  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework's role in the shift in regulation.
  • A real-life example of going beyond audits to ensure security.
  • Apply the NIST Framework to your operations in 7 steps.
