NIST Cybersecurity Framework Foundation Training – NCSP Certificate Course

NIST Cybersecurity Professional NCSP CSF 2.0 Foundation Certificate

Become a NIST Cybersecurity Professional (NCSP)

​

The NIST Cybersecurity Professional (NCSP) Foundation Certificate course is the gateway to mastering the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0, an essential tool for managing cyber risk and aligning security with business strategy.

​

This 2-day instructor-led training delivers comprehensive NIST cybersecurity education, covering CSF core functions (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover), implementation tiers, and risk management principles.

 

Designed for IT professionals, risk managers, and business leaders, the NCSP Foundation course provides globally recognised certification with no prerequisites, making it the ideal starting point for anyone seeking NIST cybersecurity training, CSF implementation skills, and career advancement in cyber risk and compliance.

 

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 provides guidance to industry, government agencies, and other organisations to manage cybersecurity risks. Widely adopted and increasingly mandated, it offers a taxonomy of high-level cybersecurity outcomes that can be used by any organisation, regardless of its size, sector, or maturity, to better understand, assess, prioritise, and communicate its cybersecurity efforts.

​

The CSF does not prescribe how outcomes should be achieved. Rather, it links to resources that provide additional guidance on practices and controls that could be used to achieve those outcomes.
