NIST CSF 2.0 · India
NIST CSF 2.0 implementation & certification in India.
MAST's Mumbai-led team delivers NIST CSF 2.0 (NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0) programmes for regulated enterprises in India — mapped to RBI, SEBI CSCRF, IRDAI, CERT-In and other local requirements.
Local context
Why NIST CSF 2.0 matters in India
Boards and regulators across India are increasingly mandating an independently certified Info & Cyber Security programme. NIST CSF 2.0 is the global benchmark and the fastest route to demonstrating control to RBI and audit committees.
- Mapped to RBI requirements
- Mapped to SEBI CSCRF requirements
- Mapped to IRDAI requirements
- Mapped to CERT-In requirements
- Mapped to DPDP Act 2023 requirements
Engagement model
From Mumbai, end-to-end
- 1. Gap assessment — current state vs NIST CSF 2.0 clauses & Annex controls, local regulator overlay.
- 2. Design & document — policy suite, risk methodology, Statement of Applicability tailored to India.
- 3. Implement & train — control roll-out, awareness programme, evidence library.
- 4. Internal audit — Lead Auditor-led pre-certification audit and management review.
- 5. Certification support — Stage 1 + Stage 2 on-site with accredited certification bodies.
Regulatory overlap
Local regulations NIST CSF 2.0 can satisfy in India.
Where NIST CSF 2.0 controls map directly to India-specific obligations, MAST builds a single evidence library that satisfies both — no duplicated audits.
