Our NIST compliance services help Perth organisations align with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, the globally recognised standard for managing cyber risk, so you can protect sensitive data and win the trust of clients and partners.
NIST, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, develops cyber security frameworks used by organisations around the world. The most widely adopted is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), which gives you a flexible, risk-based way to manage cyber threats.
NIST compliance means putting controls in place across the framework’s six core functions. Version 2.0, released in February 2024, added “Govern” to put more focus on leadership and accountability. Read NIST’s announcement.
Whether you’re a government contractor, a healthcare provider or a growing business, NIST compliance shows your commitment to data protection and builds stakeholder trust.

We combine deep cyber security expertise with a practical, business-first approach to NIST compliance for Perth organisations. We don’t just help you tick boxes; we help you build a resilient, secure and future-ready organisation.
Both improve cyber security, but they take different approaches.
| Feature | NIST CSF | ISO 27001 |
|---|---|---|
| Origin | US Government | International standard |
| Certification | No formal certification | Third-party certification available |
| Flexibility | Highly adaptable | Structured and audit-driven |
| Cost | Freely available framework | Paid standard and certification |
| Best for | Practical, scalable security | Businesses seeking global recognition |
Not sure which framework suits you? As a NIST compliance partner in Perth, we’ll recommend the right fit, or a combination, based on your clients, contracts and risks.
For most Australian businesses, no. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is voluntary. However, it can be required by contracts, particularly with US government agencies, defence supply chains or international clients, and many organisations adopt it as best practice.
There is no formal certification for the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Instead, you can demonstrate alignment through assessments, documentation and evidence of controls. If you need a formal certificate, ISO 27001 offers third-party certification.
NIST released version 2.0 of the Cybersecurity Framework in February 2024. It added a sixth function, Govern, to focus on leadership and accountability, and broadened the framework so it applies to organisations of all sizes and sectors.
The Essential Eight is ASD’s set of prioritised technical strategies to defend against common threats. The NIST CSF is a broader framework for managing cyber risk across your whole organisation. Many Australian businesses use both, and we can help you align with each.
It depends on your size, systems and current security maturity. A gap analysis is the first step: it shows where you stand and gives you a prioritised roadmap, so you can plan time and budget with confidence.
Yes. We help businesses prepare for ISO 27001, including policies, controls and documentation. Formal certification is carried out by an accredited third-party certification body.
