Hikvision has officially earned certification under the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0, a testament to its dedication to cybersecurity. This achievement follows a thorough, independent audit by the British Standards Institution (BSI), positioning Hikvision as one of the first global companies to reach this milestone. It underscores the company’s commitment to aligning its cybersecurity governance, risk management, and compliance practices with globally recognized standards.
What is NIST CSF 2.0?
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a voluntary set of guidelines developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Designed for organizations of all sizes, it provides a roadmap for managing and minimizing cybersecurity risks. The framework is built on three key components: the Core, Organizational Profiles, and Tiers. The CSF Core outlines six essential functions – Govern (GV), Identify (ID), Protect (PR), Detect (DE), Respond (RS), and Recover (RC) – offering organizations a strategic, lifecycle-based approach to cybersecurity risk management.
Compared to version 1.1, which laid the foundation for lifecycle-based risk management, NIST CSF 2.0 introduces several key enhancements:
- Elevating “Govern” as a core function, emphasizing the strategic importance of cybersecurity governance within organizational development.
- Integrating supply chain and third-party cybersecurity risk management into the “Govern” function, highlighting the need for end-to-end supply chain security.
- Expanding applicability and alignment with other NIST resources, enabling organizations worldwide to manage cybersecurity risks more effectively.

Hikvision has built a robust, end-to-end cybersecurity system that aligns with all six core functions of the NIST CSF 2.0.
