Hikvision has successfully achieved certification under the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0, following a rigorous independent audit conducted by the British Standards Institution (BSI). With this milestone, Hikvision becomes one of the first companies worldwide to achieve this certification, demonstrating its commitment to aligning its cybersecurity governance, risk management, and compliance practices with internationally recognized standards.
What is NIST CSF 2.0?
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a set of voluntary guidelines developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help organizations of all sizes manage and reduce cybersecurity risks. The framework consists of three main components-the Core, Organizational Profiles, and Tiers. The CSF Core defines six key functions – Govern (GV), Identify (ID), Protect (PR), Detect (DE), Respond (RS), and Recover (RC) – providing organizations with a strategic lifecycle for managing cybersecurity risks.
Compared with version 1.1, which laid the foundation for lifecycle-based risk management, NIST CSF 2.0 introduces important enhancements, including:
- Elevating “Govern” as a core function, emphasizing the strategic role of cybersecurity governance within organizational development.
- Integrating supply chain and third-party cybersecurity risk management into the “Govern” function, emphasizing the importance of end-to-end supply chain security.
- Expanding applicability and alignment with other NIST resources, enabling organizations worldwide to manage cybersecurity risks more effectively.

Hikvision has established a robust, end-to-end cybersecurity system aligned with all six core functions.
