KnowBe4 has selected common requirements from the NIST CSF to
help assess an organization's current cybersecurity plan for its
CARA tool
TAMPA
BAY, Fla., June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
KnowBe4, the provider of the world's largest security awareness
training and simulated phishing platform, today announced that its
CARA tool now maps to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
The Compliance Audit Readiness Assessment (CARA) is a
complementary, five-minute self-assessment tool that can help
security professionals take the first step towards assessing their
organization's compliance audit readiness for meeting the
requirements for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
(CMMC), SSAE18 and now, NIST CSF.
Many organizations, especially federal agencies and
organizations that are part of the U.S. federal supply chain, adopt
the NIST CSF to provide evidence of their current cybersecurity
state and to help measure and manage cybersecurity risk. Passing a
cybersecurity compliance audit based on the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a
business requirement. According to recent study by Statista, nearly
48% of respondents use the NIST CSF as a cybersecurity compliance
measure, in both public and private sectors alike.
KnowBe4 CEO Stu Sjouwerman said,
"We know InfoSec and IT teams face challenging compliance
requirements, not enough time to get audits done, and have to
continually keep
up with risk assessments. This tool guides them through a selection
of common requirements from the framework to help assess an
organization's current cybersecurity plan and get an analysis of
results in just a few minutes."
