NIST CSF 2.0: Hikvision's Cybersecurity Milestone

Hikvision has successfully obtained certification under the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0. This accomplishment follows an extensive audit by the British Standards Institution (BSI), making Hikvision one of the pioneering companies globally to receive this recognition.

The certification highlights the company's dedication to adhering to internationally accepted cyber security governance, risk management, and compliance standards.

Understanding NIST CSF 2.0

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) provides voluntary guidelines developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) aimed at helping organizations of various sizes in managing and mitigating cyber security risks. The framework comprises three primary components: the Core, Organizational Profiles, and Tiers. The CSF Core outlines six essential functions—Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover—offering organizations a strategic approach for cyber security risk management.

Compared to its predecessor, version 1.1, NIST CSF 2.0 introduces several key enhancements. These include elevating "Govern" as a core function, thereby highlighting the strategic importance of cyber security governance. It also integrates supply chain and third-party risk management within the "Govern" function, underscoring comprehensive supply chain security. Additionally, it broadens applicability and alignment with other NIST resources, aiding organizations worldwide in more effectively managing cybersecurity risks.

Establishing a Comprehensive Cybersecurity System

This integration ensures that security practices are woven into every aspect of its business operations

Hikvision has developed a comprehensive cybersecurity system that aligns with all six core functions of the NIST CSF. The company incorporates security into its corporate strategy, risk management, compliance initiatives, and supply chain operations.

This integration ensures that security practices are woven into every aspect of its business operations. The achievement of NIST CSF 2.0 certification verifies that Hikvision's cybersecurity governance meets international best practices, supporting partners and clients globally in maintaining safe, compliant, and reliable operations as a trusted technology partner.

Commitment to Cybersecurity

Demonstrating a long-standing commitment to cybersecurity and privacy, Hikvision strictly follows internationally recognized standards and regulatory requirements. The company conducts regular assessments and engages in continuous improvement programs to strengthen its security posture. Over the years, Hikvision has amassed a broad range of globally acknowledged certifications, including ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 27701:2019, ISO/IEC 27017, ISO/IEC 29151, and ISO 38505-1:2017, now bolstered by the recent NIST CSF 2.0 certification.

Cybersecurity is foundational to building trust, and to date, Hikvision has obtained over 25 authoritative security and compliance certifications globally. This track record reflects its ongoing commitment to protecting data and fostering digital trust. Looking ahead, Hikvision plans to further enhance its cybersecurity programs and share best practices across the industry.

What is NIST CSF 2.0?

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a set of voluntary guidelines developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help organizations of all sizes manage and reduce cyber security risks.

The framework consists of three main components — the Core, Organizational Profiles, and Tiers.

The CSF Core defines six key functions — Govern (GV), Identify (ID), Protect (PR), Detect (DE), Respond (RS), and Recover (RC) — providing organizations with a strategic lifecycle for managing cyber security risks.

Compared with version 1.1, which laid the foundation for lifecycle-based risk management, NIST CSF 2.0 introduces important enhancements, including:

Elevating “Govern” as a core function, emphasizing the strategic role of cyber security governance within organizational development.
Integrating supply chain and third-party cyber security risk management into the “Govern” function, emphasizing the importance of end-to-end supply chain security.
Expanding applicability and alignment with other NIST resources, enabling organizations worldwide to manage cybersecurity risks more effectively.

Building a robust cybersecurity and governance System

Hikvision has established a robust, end-to-end cybersecurity system aligned with all six core functions. The company embeds security into its corporate strategy, risk management, compliance programs, and supply chain operations, ensuring that security practices are integrated across all business processes.

Achieving NIST CSF 2.0 certification confirms that Hikvision’s cybersecurity governance aligns with international best practices. With comprehensive, layered security capabilities, Hikvision supports partners and clients worldwide in achieving safe, compliant, and reliable operations — reinforcing its commitment as a trusted global technology partner.

Hikvision’s ongoing commitment to cybersecurity
