Recently XeneX has had many requests for developing cybersecurity frameworks.  The fact is that a cybersecurity framework that is not mapped to an industry standard framework is not the best approach for customers.  If the effort that goes into developing a cybersecurity framework is mapped to one of the key industry standards frameworks it will identify not only immediate and critical cybersecurity gaps but will also provide a roadmap to address other gaps over time with allocated budgets to comprehensively meet the compliance requirements. 

Cybersecurity frameworks are often mapped to industry standards to provide guidance and best practices for securing information systems and networks.  XeneX recommends mapping cybersecurity frameworks to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, which incorporates industry standards and best practices to help organizations manage and reduce cybersecurity risk. 

For example, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework includes references to industry standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management, ISO/IEC 27002 for information security controls, and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) for payment card data security. 

Similarly, the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Critical Security Controls is a cybersecurity framework that aligns with many industry standards, including ISO/IEC 27001, NIST, and the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). 

XeneX helps organizations to ensure that they are implementing best practices and complying with regulatory requirements in a consistent and effective manner by mapping cybersecurity frameworks to industry standards.
