NIST CSF
Education Law 2-d requires educational agencies to adopt a policy on data security and privacy that aligns with the state’s data security and privacy standard. The Department adopted the National Institute for Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) as the standard for educational agencies. At the center of the framework is the Core, which is a set of activities and desired outcomes designed to help organizations manage data security and privacy risk. The Core is organized into functions, categories, and subcategories.

RIC one NIST Cybersecurity Framework Tool
The NIST CSF tool was developed to enable school districts to track their work on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. The tool provides a means for assessing the district's current profile against the RIC One Target Profiles for Ed Law 2-d compliance. It includes an area for recording evidence of the current profile, action plans for reaching the target, tracking changes, and downloadable reports. The tool also incorporates the RIC One NIST CSF Implementation Guide. This guide provides suggestions on what districts can do to help them meet the target profiles.
