nist-csf-2-assessment

nist-csf-2-assessment is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vaquarkhan/compliance-agent-skills. It costs 151 tokens per session (2,507 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for assessing cybersecurity practices against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. NIST is a US standards organization, and the framework groups security work into Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.

In plain words
What is it for?
Comparing current and target security states, reviewing implementation tiers, assessing supply-chain and governance risks, and preparing risk reports.
Why use it?
It shows where an organization's security practices fall short and separates maturity levels from simple pass-or-fail checks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nist-csf-2-assessment scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

NIST CSF 2.0 Assessment

Overview

This skill implements NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 (NIST CSWP 29, February 2024) gap assessments. CSF 2.0 organizes outcomes into six Functions:

Function Purpose Example categories
GOVERN (GV) Enterprise risk management, strategy, supply chain GV.OC, GV.RM, GV.SC
IDENTIFY (ID) Asset management, risk assessment, improvement ID.AM, ID.RA, ID.IM
PROTECT (PR) Identity, awareness, data security, platform security PR.AA, PR.AT, PR.DS, PR.PS
DETECT (DE) Continuous monitoring, adverse event analysis DE.CM, DE.AE
RESPOND (RS) Incident management, analysis, mitigation, communication RS.MA, RS.AN, RS.MI, RS.CO
RECOVER (RC) Recovery planning, execution, communication RC.RP, RC.CO

Implementation Tiers (Partial → Risk Informed → Repeatable → Adaptive) describe organizational maturity—not control pass/fail.

Profiles document Current vs Target state for prioritized improvement. CSF 2.0 adds explicit supply chain (GV.SC) and governance (GV) emphasis relevant to LLM vendors, MCP servers, and agent toolchains.

Reference document: NIST CSF 2.0 (CSWP 29).

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Executive or board-level cybersecurity posture reporting using NIST CSF taxonomy
  • Gap assessing AI agent deployments (compliance agent, MCP tools, LLM APIs)
  • Building Current and Target Profiles for a 12–24 month roadmap
  • Harmonizing CSF outcomes with ISO 27001 Annex A or SOC 2 TSC (cross-walk, not replacement)
  • Vendor/customer questionnaires referencing NIST CSF 2.0
  • Continuous improvement cycles (ID.IM) after incidents or audits

Do not use this skill when:

  • Legal attestation under PCI-DSS or HIPAA alone (use framework-specific skills)
  • Detailed IAM permission analysis (use access-control-identity-audit)
  • PHI redaction pipeline tuning (use hipaa-phi-redaction-pipeline)
  • California consumer DSAR processing (use ccpa-cpra-privacy-rights)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
