NIST CSF Ransomware Risk Assessment

Transition from qualitative "gut feelings" to data-driven risk management with the NIST CSF Ransomware Risk Assessment. This comprehensive resource provides a structured, five-step methodology for calculating ransomware risk by blending the NIST Cybersecurity Framework with financial loss modeling. The downloadable tool includes dedicated modules for FIPS 199 system categorization, control effectiveness scoring (Met, Partially Met, Not Met), and loss magnitude forecasting. By calculating Threat Event Frequency and Vulnerability percentages, you can generate a professional Loss Exceedance Curve to visualize potential Primary and Secondary losses—giving you the exact data needed to update your Risk Register and justify security investments to leadership.

This resource provides you with…

Move Beyond Heat Maps

Stop relying on "Low, Medium, High" labels. Use actual frequency and magnitude data to calculate the real-world financial impact of a ransomware event.

Align with Gold Standards

Ensure your assessment is defensible by utilizing the NIST CSF and FIPS 199 frameworks to categorize systems and measure control implementation.

Visualize Your Risk

Generate a professional Loss Exceedance Curve that helps stakeholders understand the probability of various loss scenarios at a glance.
