CYBERSECURITY FRAMEWORK PROFILE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE EXTREME FAST CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE

What is a Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Profile?

A Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Profile represents the outcomes based on business needs that an organization has selected from the NIST CSF Categories and Subcategories. Profiles serve as a useful starting point for identifying cybersecurity activities and outcomes that may be important to the selected group. Profiles can be used to identify opportunities for improving cybersecurity posture by comparing a “Current” Profile (the “as is” state) with a “Target” Profile (the “to be” state). They also offer an organization a consistent way to discuss cybersecurity objectives across organizational roles—from senior leadership to technical implementors—using common terminology. Individuals can use the Profile to prioritize the allocation of resources to cybersecurity improvements or to areas of particular concern.
