This crosswalk table demonstrates how GDPR requirements can be mapped to the NIST CSF categories. Organizations can use this mapping to leverage NIST controls for addressing GDPR compliance:
- The NIST "Identify" function helps organizations understand their data processing activities and assess risks, aligning with GDPR's requirements for data inventory and impact assessments.
- The "Protect" function corresponds to GDPR's emphasis on data security measures and privacy by design principles.
- "Detect" and "Respond" support GDPR's breach notification and incident response requirements.
- The "Identify" function aligns with GDPR's organizational requirements, particularly in governance
CyberSaint's CyberStrong platform uses NLP and AI to automate crosswalking between cybersecurity frameworks like NIST CSF, CMMC, and ISO 27001. This allows organizations to quickly map controls, maintain consistency, and gain real-time insights into their cybersecurity posture.
CyberStrong's capabilities include:
- Crosswalking templates to ensure consistency across multiple departments and risk assessments.
- Real-time updates on technical control scores through Continuous Control Automation (CCA).
- The ability to conduct one-to-one and one-to-many crosswalks efficiently.
- Support over 60 industry frameworks, with the flexibility to add custom frameworks.
By streamlining the crosswalking process, CyberSaint enables organizations to more effectively manage their cybersecurity posture across multiple frameworks, facilitate compliance efforts, and gain comprehensive insights into their risk landscape.
