NIST CSF and SP 800-53 Compliance Assessment

Compliance assessment skill that maps network device configuration and operational state against NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 functions. Assesses 6 of the 20 NIST 800-53 control families that have direct network device relevance:

• AC — Access Control
• AU — Audit and Accountability
• CM — Configuration Management
• IA — Identification and Authentication
• SC — System and Communications Protection
• SI — System and Information Integrity

The remaining 14 control families (AT, CA, CP, IR, MA, MP, PE, PL, PM, PS, PT, RA, SA, SR) are outside the scope of network device configuration assessment — they address organizational processes, physical security, personnel, supply chain, or system-level concerns not directly observable in device configuration.
