Address the NIST requirements

PCI Compliance Services combined NIST Advisory and Cyber Engineering teams have developed a process to enable cloud service providers to be audit-ready in less than six weeks and at a fraction of historical costs. We view all companies as being on a journey to appropriately understand and address their cyber risk. The journey has three phases:

Understanding risk – Companies assess what cyber risk means for them, identifying the critical assets that drive the business and the nature of
the threats they face.
Prioritizing risk – Companies focus more precisely on the areas that matter most and make decisions based on those priorities.
Monitoring risk – Companies develop the ability to know with increasing agility when changes in the technology or business environment or evolving threats change their risk exposure. For example, they may have implemented advanced capabilities for monitoring technology assets and deploying automated threat response. In other words, the five CSF functions—Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover—operate in harmony.
