What is the NCSP 800-184 Awareness Certificate?

The NCSP 800-184 Awareness Certificate introduces foundational concepts from NIST SP 800-184: Guide for Cybersecurity Event Recovery. It is part of the governed NCSP credential ecosystem aligned to NIST CSF 2.0 and the NIST SP 800-series.

How does this course align with NIST SP 800-184?

The course focuses on the core principles of NIST SP 800-184, including recovery planning, recovery playbooks, event response integration, and how recovery processes align with NIST CSF 2.0, SP 800-61, and SP 800-37.

Who governs and maintains the NCSP 800-184 Awareness Certificate?

The NIST Cybersecurity Professional (NCSP) framework is a structured, NIST-aligned cybersecurity and digital trust workforce competency framework developed by CySec Professionals Ltd and governed by The Digital Trust Institute (DTI).

Is NCSP 800-184 Awareness considered official NIST training?

NCSP training is not generic NIST training. It is a governed credential ecosystem aligned to NIST CSF 2.0 and the NIST SP 800-series, with formal governance and stewardship by The Digital Trust Institute.

Who is authorised to deliver NCSP 800-184 Awareness training?

Only organisations formally authorised by The Digital Trust Institute may deliver NCSP training or assessments. Unauthorised use of NCSP identifiers is prohibited.

Build Awareness of NIST SP 800‑184: Guide for Cyber Event Recovery

NIST Cybersecurity Professional®

(NCSP®) 800-184 Awareness Certificate

Course Description

NIST Special Publication 800‑184, Guide for Cybersecurity Event Recovery, provides structured guidance for planning, executing, and improving recovery activities following a cybersecurity event. It helps organisations restore services, minimise operational disruption, and strengthen resilience through well‑defined recovery processes and governance.

The NIST Cybersecurity Professional® (NCSP®) 800‑184 Awareness Certificate is a half‑day, instructor‑led course offering a concise introduction to the purpose, structure, and strategic value of NIST SP 800‑184. Designed for executives, managers, system owners, and stakeholders, this course explains how recovery planning supports resilience, business continuity, and risk management, without requiring technical or incident‑response expertise.

Participants gain a high‑level understanding of recovery planning concepts, organisational roles, recovery playbooks, and how 800‑184 integrates with CSF 2.0, RMF (800‑37), 800‑61 incident handling, and broader resilience frameworks.
