Hikvision awarded NIST CSF 2.0 certification

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 recognised 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 organisations of all sizes manage and reduce cybersecurity risks.

The framework consists of three main components – the Core, Organisational Profiles, and Tiers.

The CSF Core defines six key functions – Govern (GV), Identify (ID), Protect (PR), Detect (DE), Respond (RS), and Recover (RC) – providing organisations with a strategic lifecycle for managing cybersecurity risks.

Enhancements

According to the company, 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, emphasising the strategic role of cybersecurity governance within organisational development
• Integrating supply chain and third-party cybersecurity risk management into the “Govern” function, emphasising the importance of end-to-end supply chain security
• Expanding applicability and alignment with other NIST resources, enabling organisations worldwide to manage cybersecurity risks more effectively

Building a robust system

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

The company embeds security into its corporate strategy, risk management, compliance programs and supply chain operations, ensuring that security practices are integrated across all business processes.

Achieving NIST CSF 2.0 certification confirms that Hikvision’s cybersecurity governance aligns with international best practices.

With comprehensive, layered security capabilities, Hikvision supports partners and clients worldwide in achieving safe, compliant and reliable operations – reinforcing its commitment as a trusted global technology partner.

Hikvision’s commitment to cybersecurity

Hikvision is committed to advancing cybersecurity and privacy protection across all aspects of its operations.

The company emphasises that it adheres strictly to internationally recognised standards and regulatory requirements, conducting regular capability assessments and continuous improvement programs to enhance its security posture.

Over the years, the company says that it has achieved a broad portfolio of globally recognised certifications, including:

• ISO/IEC 27001:2022
• ISO/IEC 27701:2019
• ISO/IEC 27017
