Key points about the crosswalking:
By using this crosswalk, organizations can leverage the strengths of both standards to enhance their overall cybersecurity posture and streamline compliance efforts.
CyberSaint's CyberStrong platform uses NLP and AI to automate crosswalking between cybersecurity frameworks like NIST CSF, CMMC, and ISO 27001. This allows organizations to quickly map controls, maintain consistency, and gain real-time insights into their cybersecurity posture.
CyberStrong's capabilities include:
By streamlining the crosswalking process, CyberSaint enables organizations to more effectively manage their cybersecurity posture across multiple frameworks, facilitate compliance efforts, and gain comprehensive insights into their risk landscape.
