Key Concepts
The key concepts of the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) revolve around four main objectives and 14 underpinning principles that guide organisations in managing cyber risk for essential functions.
A) Managing Security Risk - focuses on governance, risk management, and the "human factor." It’s about having the right processes and people in place to make informed decisions.
B) Protecting Against Cyber Attack - this covers the "hard" technical defences—identity and access control, data security, system security, and staff awareness training.
C) Detecting Cyber Security Events - since no defence is perfect, this objective ensures you have the monitoring capabilities to spot an attack while it’s happening.
D) Minimising the Impact of Cyber Security Incidents - this is about resilience. When things go wrong, how quickly can you restore service and how well did you learn from the event?
