NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF)
Aligning your organisation to the UK's national cyber security standards for operators of essential services and critical infrastructure.
What Is NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF)?
The NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) is a systematic approach to assessing the extent to which cyber risks to essential functions are being managed. It provides a structured set of indicators of good practice, grouped across four objectives: managing security risk, protecting against cyber attack, detecting cyber security events, and minimising the impact of incidents.
Why It Matters
The CAF is used by regulators to assess compliance for operators of essential services under the NIS Regulations. Demonstrating alignment provides assurance to regulators, stakeholders and customers that cyber risks are being managed effectively.
