Security Frameworks

ISO 27001, NIST, and why "compliance" isn't just a checklist.

## Why Frameworks Matter Frameworks aren't just bureaucracy. They are the battle-tested playbooks of cybersecurity. Without them, you're just guessing. ### The Big Three * **ISO 27001**: The Global Standard. It's not about tech; it's about *management*. Steps: Assets -> Risks -> Controls. * **NIST Cybersecurity Framework**: The American standard (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover). It's practical and actionable. * **Cyber Essentials**: The "Minimum Viable Security" kit from the UK. > **Pro Tip**: Don't memorize the clauses. Understand the goals: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability.
