The NIST CSF and its key functions $($Identify$,$ Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover$)$ provide a benchmark for auditing and

assessing organizations based on the relevant functions and activities. In this assignment, you'll use this model to

perform an assessment on your environment $($for example, home, workplace, etc.$)$ to gauge, assess, and validate that

proper security safeguards and controls are in place.

Refer to the NIST CSF document, including the associated functions and activities. Apply them to your organization

and assess which functions and activities you're currently compliant with and which ones you are not. As you reference

the framework and apply it to your current environment, consider the following:

How closely does your environment and its security practices align with the framework and its respective activities?

Are the current practices in place reflective of what you're finding in the model?

Are there any gaps that need to be addressed? If so$,$ which ones should be prioritized?

What is your overall assessment of the current practices?

Please provide supporting details for your assessment findings and suppositions.
