NIST Cyber Security Framework

The NIST framework is a US government standard allowing Companies to gauge their Cyber Security maturity. It is one of the only frameworks that enable a company to measure its maturity levels regarding cyber security.

A business will show significant growth in its operations, security, and compliance standards by improving its overall maturity.

NIST

Why NIST?

  • The NIST Framework allows a company to easily see where they currently sit in terms of Security Maturity.
  • It gives a company a clear outline of where it needs to improve.
  • It provides a company with clear steps to improve and move to the next level of maturity.
  • It can be applied by almost any company, regardless of size or niche.
Technical Risk with NIST

Implementing NIST

The NIST framework has four levels of maturity;

  • Partial Implementation
  • Risk-Informed
  • Repeatable
  • Adaptive

Depending on how well structured your company is and wishes to be, we’ll establish your current and desired maturity level. From then, the priorities and following actions will become clear. We at Spector IT have brought customers from a low maturity level to the highest rating, where they can quickly obtain the ISO27001 certification.

IN THEIR WORDS

Our clients say

Spector IT has provided our company with top-class IT support for 8 years. We have a team of 30 people, of whom 10 are on the road. The service from Spector IT both on-site and remotely is excellent. Utilising the online backup and restoration service ensures that if we have a major server problem we would be up and running in a very short time period.

Dominic Galvin CEO at Naturalife – Healthcare

Spector IT understood our needs from the very start. They formulated a detailed plan and executed it seamlessly. We now have an up to date, integrated, reliable and secure system that far exceeded our expectations

JT
Jim Toal CEO at Fairco Windows and Doors – Manufacturing

Starting a new venture is never easy. We needed flexibility in how we access our systems and data across multiple locations. Spector IT provided us with cloud-based desktops and support setting up Sage applications. Their knowledge of what a professional services company needed was excellent. They went above and beyond, dealing with our software suppliers.

PT
Patrick Thorpe Director at Searing Point – Financial Services

Our IT used to be a source of irritation. Since we have engaged Spector IT they have really taken over the complete management of all of the IT function. This ensuing stability has allowed us to upgrade our ERP systems and rationalise and modernise our IT. Our IT works better and overall we are paying less for a way better solution.

DC
Dolores Cantwell CFO at Rennicks – Manufacturing

Spector IT helped us transition from a full time onsite IT Manager to a fully outsourced model where they take care of all of our IT requirements. It has been a smooth transition with a very responsive helpdesk providing great issue traceability. Their team is great and provide us with a proper vision of how technology can be applied to our operations in the IFI.

Liam Roycroft Head of Operations at the Irish Film Institute – The Arts

Since Searing Point Limited has been incorporated we have contracted Spector IT to handle all our IT and back up. We have found Spector IT to be extremely professional and competent in what they deliver. The staff are very helpful, accessible and their support is greatly appreciated.

AR
Andrew Rittweger Managing Director at Searing Point – Financial Services

As part of their compliance service Spector IT assisted the RIAI in the implementation of enhanced technical controls and information security management. A suite of security policies was provided. The management and communication skills of the compliance team are excellent and I would recommend their service. Spector IT continue to advise us on all aspects of IT management and security compliance.
