NIST Cybersecurity Framework — Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover

The NIST CSF organizes cybersecurity activities into five core functions. Sentinel Unity maps all NIST categories and subcategories to risk, controls, and assessments for a complete cybersecurity posture view.

Core Functions

Five functions. Complete cybersecurity coverage.

Each NIST CSF function maps directly to Sentinel Unity's risk, control, and assessment modules.

1

Identify

Understand your organization's cybersecurity risks to systems, people, assets, data.

Asset ManagementRisk AssessmentGovernanceSupply Chain Risk

→ Mapped to: ERM + TPRM modules

2

Protect

Implement safeguards to ensure delivery of critical services.

Access ControlAwareness TrainingData SecurityProtective Tech

→ Mapped to: Compliance + Policy modules

3

Detect

Identify cybersecurity events in a timely manner.

Anomalies & EventsContinuous MonitoringDetection Processes

→ Mapped to: Cyber Risk module

4

Respond

Take action regarding a detected cybersecurity event.

Response PlanningCommunicationsAnalysisMitigation

→ Mapped to: Cyber Risk + BCM modules

5

Recover

Restore capabilities after a cybersecurity event.

Platform Support

NIST CSF fully implemented in Sentinel Unity

NIST Assessment Templates

Pre-built assessment templates aligned to NIST CSF categories and subcategories with maturity scoring built in.

Function Maturity Scoring

Score each of the five functions independently and track your overall cybersecurity maturity progression.

Cross-mapping to NCA ECC

NIST CSF controls cross-mapped to NCA ECC — evidence collected once contributes to both frameworks.

Implementation Roadmap

Generate a prioritized improvement roadmap based on your current NIST CSF maturity assessment results.
