NIST CSF 2.0 & ITSM: A Powerful Approach to Security Assessments
Cyber threats are evolving, and traditional “technology-driven” security measures are not enough. In this webinar, we explore how integrating the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and IT Service Management (ITSM) can create a stronger, process-driven defense against cyber threats. 
5 Ways IT Service Management - ITSM Enhances IT Security
What Is an Information Security Management System and Why It Matters?
An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is the foundation for your organization's IT security program. It provides best practices and guidance for all aspects of IT security, encompassing people, processes, and technology.
Boost Cyber Resilience with IT Security Assessments and ITSM Processes
For over two decades, Navvia has been a leader in helping organizations assess, design, and refine their IT processes, contributing to more effective cybersecurity risk assessments and robust cybersecurity risk assessment frameworks.
Initially operating as a consultancy, we gained invaluable experience working with Fortune 1000 companies across diverse sectors in North America.
This expertise led to the development of the Navvia Process Designer, empowering organizations to effectively design, document, and enhance their business processes. Throughout our journey, we’ve demonstrated the importance of well-managed ITSM processes for a strong cybersecurity program, enabling organizations to mitigate risks associated with regulatory risk and potential vulnerabilities.
Integrating ITSM with Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Frameworks
Every ITSM process impacts an organization's security posture and plays a crucial role in the cybersecurity risk assessment process. However, many organizations see a disconnect between Information Security (InfoSec) and ITSM practices.
InfoSec teams often focus on security tools, threat detection, and monitoring potential risks like cyberattacks from threat actors. Yet, comprehensive security requires a systematic process beginning at the ITSM level to address insider threats and protect critical assets. Our approach integrates ITSM best practices with cybersecurity risk assessment frameworks to bridge this gap, aligning with national standards such as those provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology or the International Standards Organization.
Introducing the Navvia Cyber Assessment
The Navvia Cyber Assessment enables organizations to perform a cybersecurity risk assessment by identifying risks and allowing for earlier mitigation through remediation actions. We equip security teams with a consistent assessment tool that helps evaluate the likelihood and potential impact of vulnerabilities and threats to preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your organization’s information. This tool provides a complete inventory of critical areas, helping prioritize risks based on criteria such as potential impact and regulatory requirements, ensuring compliance with regulations like PCI DSS and HIPAA.
Advanced Tools for Effective Data Collection and Analysis
Navvia’s survey tool is designed to document results and streamline data collection, allowing organizations to manage responses efficiently through automated reminders and real-time tracking. This tool's scalability is ideal for addressing many forms of data, enhancing threat detection through dashboards that provide a clear overview and aid in conducting a cost-benefit analysis of potential risks.
Ensuring Accuracy and Reliability Through Data Validation and Analysis
Once collected, we review and validate data to ensure accuracy, utilizing validation workshops and sophisticated tools to calculate the probability of risks being exploited. This analysis uncovers key themes, enabling leaders to make more informed decisions about high priority activities and remediation actions, even when faced with limited resources.
