NIST Compliance Services
A proven framework to strengthen your cybersecurity.
At Vector Choice Technologies, we treat cybersecurity as a technical protection and a critical business priority. That's why we
align our services with the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), the globally recognized standard for
managing and reducing cybersecurity risk.

Protect Your Business with the
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a collection of best practices, guidelines, and standards designed to help organizations improve their resilience against cyber threats. Originally developed for critical infrastructure, it has become the benchmark across industries, from healthcare and finance to government and manufacturing, for building repeatable, scalable, and effective security programs.
The Five Functions of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
Identify
Understand your environment and manage cybersecurity risk.
Protect
Implement safeguards to keep critical services secure.
Detect
Develop monitoring and detection activities for potential threats.
Respond
Take swift, structured action when incidents occur.
Recover
Restore operations and strengthen resilience for the future.

At Vector Choice Technologies, we help you turn NIST compliance into more than just a requirement—we make it a competitive advantage.
FAQs
What is NIST?
NIST is a U.S. government agency that develops standards, guidelines, and best practices to improve innovation, security, and competitiveness. In cybersecurity, NIST publishes frameworks and controls that organizations use to manage risk and protect data.
What does NIST stand for?
NIST stands for the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It is part of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
What are NIST standards?
"NIST standards" refers to publications such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), the Special Publication 800 series, and Federal Information Processing Standards. Examples include NIST SP 800-53 for security controls, NIST SP 800-171 for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information, and FIPS 140-3 for cryptographic modules. Organizations use these documents to design, implement, and assess security programs.
How do you implement the NIST Cybersecurity Framework?
Implement the NIST Cybersecurity Framework by first scoping your critical services, data, systems, third parties, and risk tolerance. Create a current profile mapped to the CSF functions (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover), define a target profile based on threats and compliance needs, then run a gap assessment and build a prioritized roadmap with owners, timelines, and budgets. Implement the required controls (e.g., access management, secure configuration, MFA, logging and monitoring, backups, and incident response), and continuously measure, test, and report results so you can improve over time.
