Deliver NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Across Your Entire Client Portfolio
NIST CSF 2.0 is the one security baseline that fits every client, in every industry. Nuronus gives your MSP the platform to assess all six Functions, score readiness, collect evidence, and deliver white-label reports — as a high-margin recurring service.
Free for 2 clients. All features included. No credit card required.
The Problem
Every Client Needs a Security Baseline. Most MSPs Deliver It Ad Hoc.
NIST CSF 2.0 is voluntary, industry-agnostic, and outcome-based — which is exactly why it works as the portfolio-wide baseline you can apply to every client regardless of vertical. But without a platform, running a real assessment across all six Functions turns into a spreadsheet slog, and the Govern function most SMBs need most goes unaddressed. MSPs who can deliver CSF readiness repeatably own a recurring, high-margin revenue stream.
- Clients ask "what is our security posture?" and you have no scored, defensible answer
- The new Govern function exposes leadership and vendor-risk gaps most SMBs have never documented
- Assessing all six Functions by spreadsheet is slow, inconsistent, and impossible to repeat at scale
- Evidence is scattered across email, portals, and screenshots when the insurer or board asks for it
- You already do the technical work — but nothing turns it into a compliance record clients will pay for
Capabilities
NIST CSF 2.0 Readiness, Automated and Billable
Nuronus handles the heavy lifting of NIST CSF assessment so you can focus on the strategic advisory conversation and grow your compliance practice.
Six-Function Assessment & Scoring
Assess each client across Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover, with a scored readiness report and a prioritized remediation roadmap for every gap.
Sell a fixed-fee CSF gap assessment as the first engagement
One Control Set, Every Framework
NIST CSF 2.0 maps cleanly onto the same underlying CIS-based control set as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. Assess once, report against every framework a client falls under.
One assessment, reused across every framework a client needs
Evidence Collection & Drift Detection
A centralized evidence repository linked to specific CSF outcomes, pulling from connected environments instead of email threads, with continuous monitoring for control drift between assessments.
Provide ongoing CSF monitoring as a monthly service
White-Label Readiness Reporting
Hand clients an audit-ready, fully branded readiness report showing scored posture per Function, trend over time, and framework overlap — from one multi-tenant dashboard.
Turn every finding into a strategic, leadership-level conversation
The Framework
All Six Functions of NIST CSF 2.0, Covered
NIST CSF 2.0 is organized around six Functions that describe the full lifecycle of cybersecurity risk management. Govern is new in 2.0 and is where SMB clients have the biggest gaps. Nuronus assesses every Function and maps each outcome to a single control set.
Govern (GV)
- ✓Organizational context and cybersecurity risk strategy
- ✓Assigned roles, responsibilities, and leadership oversight
- ✓Written, approved security policies
- ✓Cybersecurity supply chain risk management
Identify (ID)
- ✓Hardware and software asset inventory
- ✓Data classification and business environment mapping
- ✓Documented risk assessment and regulatory mapping
Protect (PR)
- ✓Identity management, MFA, and least-privilege access
- ✓Data security and encryption at rest and in transit
- ✓Platform hardening, patch compliance, and backup coverage
- ✓Security awareness training
Detect (DE)
- ✓Continuous monitoring and SIEM or MDR coverage
- ✓Log collection, retention, and alerting
- ✓Adverse event analysis and threat intelligence
Respond (RS)
- ✓Documented incident response plan and assigned IR roles
- ✓Containment, analysis, and communication procedures
- ✓Regulatory notification and reporting
Recover (RC)
- ✓Defined Recovery Time and Recovery Point Objectives
- ✓Tested restoration procedures and business continuity plan
- ✓Recovery communications and lessons learned
How It Works
NIST CSF Readiness in Four Phases
Set Scope & Profile
Define the client's current and target profile across all six Functions. Nuronus frames the engagement so it fits any vertical, from healthcare to manufacturing to finance.
Assess Current Posture
Run a scored assessment against Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Identify gaps and generate a prioritized remediation roadmap.
Collect Evidence & Policies
Use automated evidence collection and the AI policy generator to build the documentation package — from the risk register to the incident response plan.
Deliver & Monitor
Hand off an audit-ready, white-label readiness report. Set up continuous monitoring to track drift and show trend over time between assessments.
FAQ
NIST CSF for MSPs, Answered
Can an MSP deliver NIST CSF 2.0 as a service?
Yes. NIST CSF 2.0 is voluntary and industry-agnostic, which makes it ideal for MSPs to deliver as a repeatable service — profiling the client, assessing all six Functions, collecting evidence, and producing a scored readiness report. Nuronus gives you the platform to do this across your whole portfolio and charge for it as a recurring engagement, from an initial gap assessment through monthly monitoring.
What changed in NIST CSF 2.0?
Released in 2024, CSF 2.0 added a sixth Function — Govern — as its new centerpiece, formalizing risk strategy, roles, policies, oversight, and supply chain risk management. It also expanded from critical infrastructure to organizations of all sizes and sectors, and strengthened supply chain requirements. That means every SMB in your portfolio is now a candidate, and the "we're too small for this" objection is gone.
Why is the Govern function important for SMB clients?
Govern is where most SMBs have the biggest gaps. They often have a firewall, endpoint protection, and backups — but no documented risk tolerance, no assigned security decision-maker, no written policies, and no vendor risk program. Govern gives you the vocabulary to move the conversation from technical delivery to strategic advisory, and every gap it exposes is a billable deliverable.
How does NIST CSF map to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls?
NIST CSF 2.0 is widely used as a common security baseline and a bridge to other frameworks because it maps cleanly to CIS Controls, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. Nuronus assesses CSF against the same underlying control set as those frameworks, so one assessment produces reporting for every framework a client falls under — one evidence pipeline, multiple reports.
How much does it cost to start?
Nuronus is free for your first 2 clients with all features included and no credit card required. Paid plans start at $99/month as you add clients, so you can prove the CSF service on real engagements before you scale it across the portfolio.
