How Safeguard covers CSF 2.0

  • Scan requirements: 6, all decided by a scan.
  • Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 13 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for CSF 2.0.
  • Automated tests: 835 map to its controls, and 360 connectors provide automated evidence for them. See NIST CSF 2.0 and connectors.
  • Policy templates: 25: 3 written for CSF 2.0 and 22 from the standard set.

How each kind of coverage works, and what the readiness score counts: Compliance frameworks.

What a scan checks

Each scan of a product checks these 6 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).

RequirementWhat Safeguard checksDecided by
CSF2-ID.AM-02 Software and Services InventoryInventories of software, services and systems must be maintained (NIST CSF 2.0 ID.AM-02)Scan
CSF2-GV.SC-04 Suppliers Known and PrioritizedSuppliers must be known and prioritized by criticality, presupposing a named supplier for the software components in use (NIST CSF 2.0 GV.SC-04)Scan
CSF2-GV.SC-07 Supplier and Product Risk UnderstandingThe risks posed by suppliers and their products must be understood and recorded, which for software requires components identifiable against risk and vulnerability data (NIST CSF 2.0 GV.SC-07)Scan
CSF2-GV.SC-07-SBOM SBOM as Supply Chain EvidenceUnderstanding product risk is supported by obtaining bills of materials in standardized machine-readable form (NIST CSF 2.0 GV.SC-07 implementation examples referencing SBOMs)Scan
CSF2-ID.RA-01 Vulnerability IdentificationVulnerabilities in assets must be identified, validated and recorded, which requires current version information for the software in those assets (NIST CSF 2.0 ID.RA-01)Scan
CSF2-PR.DS-INT Software Integrity ProtectionThe integrity of software and data must be protected and verifiable, supported by integrity hashes for components (NIST CSF 2.0 Protect function, data security integrity subcategory)Scan

More controls in the catalog

The framework's Controls tab lists its scan requirements and these controls from Safeguard's control catalog. Evidence them with automated tests, uploaded evidence, policies or an attestation.
