NIST CSF Risk
Assessments

Get a clear, defensible view of cyber risk with a NIST CSF assessment that turns findings into action. TechBrain’s specialists apply the NIST Cybersecurity Framework across your environment to baseline control maturity, quantify likelihood and impact, and map gaps to business priorities.

The result is a board-ready risk register, measurable scores across Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover, and a prioritised remediation roadmap with owners, effort and cost.

We tailor each assessment to your industry, attack surface and risk appetite, so your investment targets the controls that reduce risk fastest while supporting compliance and audit needs. Armed with clear metrics and guidance, your team can make proactive decisions that strengthen your overall cyber security posture.

Our Approach

We use the National Institute of Standards & Technology’s Risk Assessment Guidelines to give you a thorough, step-by-step approach that covers every angle.

The NIST SP 800 series provides a wealth of guidance on risk assessments, while the NIST cyber security framework takes a comprehensive, no-stone-unturned approach to managing cyber security risks and making sure you’re compliant with regulations like HIPAA, FISMA & SOX.

Initial Consultation

We start by getting a deep understanding of your company’s unique needs & challenges. This sets the stage for the whole assessment, & ensures we’re focusing on the right issues at the right time.

Data collection and analysis

We gather the evidence from your networks, systems, identities and cloud platforms, then apply expert review and proven techniques to baseline your current security controls. The analysis highlights gaps, misconfigurations and control weaknesses with clear context.

Risk identification

Using the NIST methodology, we identify threats and map them to your critical assets. Each risk is assessed for likelihood and impact on business operations, producing clear risk statements you can act on.

Risk treatment and mitigation planning

We translate findings into a tailored treatment plan that reduces exposure and strengthens your security posture. Actions are prioritised by risk reduction, effort and cost, and split into quick wins and longer-term initiatives.

Recommendations and roadmap development

You receive practical, actionable recommendations aligned to NIST CSF functions and categories. A step-by-step roadmap sets milestones, owners and timelines so you can track progress, meet compliance needs and move confidently toward your target state.

NIST risk assessments are vital because they give you a consistent, government-backed methodology for spotting & mitigating potential security issues before they turn into full-blown crises.

This is about more than just avoiding losses – it’s laying the groundwork for long-term business success. NIST risk assessments also help you secure controlled unclassified information (CUI) & federal information systems – & keep your sensitive government data protected.

Through our assessments, we give you a complete review of your risk profile – & actionable insights that have a proven track record of guiding organisations to make smart strategic decisions. Our assessments are flexible tools that protect your operations – & help your company adapt to & recover from crises.

Informed Decision-Making

The deep insights we gain from our audits enable you to make smart investments in your security infrastructure – so every dollar you spend really does make a difference to your security posture.
