Information Security for Small Business: The Fundamentals – NISTIR 7621
This NIST Interagency Report (NISTIR) provides guidance on how small businesses can provide basic security for their information, systems, and networks. This NISTIR uses the Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity as a template for organizing cybersecurity risk management processes and procedures. Although the Cybersecurity Framework, created through collaboration between government and the private sector, was originally developed specifically for critical infrastructure organizations, it has proven useful to a variety of audiences and is used in this publication to organize information and cybersecurity best practices in an accepted and logical format.
