Depois de muito ~~chorar~~ reclamar no Twitter que o [NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0: Small Business Quick-Start Guide](https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.1300) não tinha um formato *mobile friendly,* resolvi arregaçar as mangas e criar minhas própria transcrição e publicar aqui no [Dev.To](http://Dev.To) sem modificar o texto 🙏.

No final, foi uma experiência tão interessante que estou considerando fazer uma Tradução Comentada também. O que vocês acham?

PS: fiz a transcrição em uma tarde, então caso você perceba algo faltando, ou errado, sinta-se à vontade pra avisar. Aceito sugestões também 😉.

# NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0: Small Business Quick-Start Guide

## Purpose

This guide provides small-to-medium sized businesses (SMB), specifically those who have modest or no cybersecurity plans in place, with considerations to kick-start their cybersecurity risk management strategy by using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0. The guide also can assist other relatively small organizations, such as non-profits, government agencies, and schools. It is a supplement to the NIST CSF and is not intended to replace it.

## What is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework?

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is voluntary guidance that helps organizations —regardless of size, sector, or maturity—better understand, assess, prioritize, and communicate their cybersecurity efforts. The Framework is not a one-size-fits-all approach to managing cybersecurity risks.This supplement and the full CSF 2.0 can help organizations to consider and record their own risk tolerances, priorities, threats, vulnerabilities, requirements, etc.

## Getting Started with the Cybersecurity Framework

The CSF organizes cybersecurity outcomes into six high-level Functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. These Functions, when considered together, provide a comprehensive view of managing cybersecurity risk. The activities listed for each Function within this guide may offer a good starting point for your business. For specific, action oriented examples of how to achieve the listed activities, reference the CSF 2.0 Implementation Examples. If there are activities contained within this guide that you do not understand or do not feel comfortable addressing yourself, this guide can serve as a discussion prompt with whomever you have chosen to help you reduce your cybersecurity risks, such as a managed security service provider (MSSP).

### Getting Started with Identifying Current Cybersecurity Risk to Your Business

Before you can protect your assets, you need to identify them. Then you can determine the appropriate level of protection for each asset based upon its sensitivity and criticality to your business mission. You can use this sample table to get started on your information technology (IT) asset inventory. As your business matures, you might consider using an automated asset inventory solution or a managed security service provider to help you manage all your business assets.

| Software/ hardware/ system/ service | Asset's official use: | Asset administrator or owner: | Identify sensitive data the asset has access to: | Identify sensitive data the asset has access to: | Risk to business if we lose access to this asset |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |

Technical Deep Dive: [Integrating Cybersecurity and Enterprise Risk Management](https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/ir/8286/final) 

### Questions to Consider

# Profiles and Additional Resources

## Using Organizational Profiles to Implement the Cybersecurity Framework

A CSF Organizational Profile describes an organization’s current and/or target cybersecurity posture in terms of the CSF Core’s cybersecurity outcomes. Every Organizational Profile includes one or both of the following: 

1. A Current Profile specifies the desired outcomes an organization is currently achieving (or attempting to achieve) and characterizes how or to what extent each outcome is being achieved. 
2. A Target Profile specifies the outcomes an organization has selected and prioritized for achieving its cybersecurity risk management objectives. 
    - You can also use a Community Profile as the basis for your Target Profile. A Community Profile is a baseline of targeted outcomes for a particular sector, technology, threat type, or other use case.
    - You can also choose to use the CSF Tiers to inform your Profile creation. Tiers characterize the current or targeted rigor of an organization’s practices by CSF Functionor Category. See the [Quick-Start Guide for Using the CSF Tiers](https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.1302.ipd) for more information on Tiers and their use.

View the [Quick-Start Guide for Creating and Using Organizational Profiles](https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.1301) for more detailed information on how to get started creating Current and Target Profiles for your organization.

## Additional Resources
