NIST premised the entire Framework on the concept of risk management, which is “the ongoing process of identifying, assessing, and responding to risk,” an approach that provides a dynamic implementation of the Framework’s recommendations. Under a risk management approach, “organizations may choose to handle risk in different ways, including mitigating the risk, transferring the risk, avoiding the risk, or accepting the risk, depending on the potential impact to the delivery of critical services.”⁵

The Framework consists of three parts: The Framework Core, the Framework Implementation, and the Framework Profile Tiers. The purpose of these three parts is to provide a “common language” that all organizations can use to understand, manage, and communicate their cybersecurity initiatives, both internally and externally, and can scale down or up to various parts of an organization as needed.
