NIST CSF Use Case Accelerator

The NIST CSF Use Case Accelerator gives customers an operational head-start when adopting the NIST CSF. When the accelerator is downloaded and activated in the GRC applications, pre-configured policies, scopes (profiles, profile type recommendations), indicators, risks, and other GRC elements appear.
