NIST CSF with ARRTECH
Records for the outcomes in a target profile.
Records for the Detect and Respond outcomes
A useful security record shows what was observed, how it was assessed and who decided the response. Those records help an organization evaluate progress toward its selected CSF outcomes.

| DE.CM-01 | Networks monitored. | Network and access logs. → |
| DE.AE-03 | Information correlated. | Correlation across sources. → |
| RS.MA-02 | Incident reports triaged. | Cases with severity and SLA. → |
| RS.AN-06 | Actions recorded, integrity preserved. | Signed, chained logs. → |
| RS.AN-07 | Data collected with integrity. | Signed exports with a verifier. → |
Assets
Discovery by a DLP helps identify and classify sensitive information in supported endpoints, file servers and SQL databases. Review findings with the data owner to maintain an inventory useful for protection and response.
Logging
A SIEM maps supported source formats into common fields and categories. That makes activity easier to compare while preserving the source evidence and relevant MITRE ATT&CK context behind a report.
Detection
A SIEM silent-source alert identifies a gap in expected collection. The team can investigate the cause and document recovery before relying on that period’s records.
Response
Repeatable workflows in a SOAR help a team gather evidence and carry out authorized response steps. Decisions requiring review go to the designated person, with the approval and outcome retained in the incident history.
Provenance
Integrity verification helps an assessor check exported evidence independently. Keep the relevant source records and investigation history with it, so the review can follow both the activity and the decisions.
Limits
The following responsibilities belong to the organization’s wider security and governance program. Their owners maintain the evidence needed for review.
GV
Governance.
RC.RP
Recovery procedures restore the affected services and record the decisions and results of that work.
PR.AA-03
Authentication. The organization’s identity system holds the record. The console accepts Active Directory or LDAP sign-in.
ID.RA-01
Vulnerability identification uses the organization’s scanning and assessment process, with findings assigned for review.
By rule
Use these references to connect the requirement with relevant operating evidence. The organization defines the scope and implementation being assessed.
ID.AM-07
Maintain inventories of data and metadata. Discovery scans by a DLP identify matching content in supported repositories so the data owner can review its location and handling.
PR.PS-04
Generate log records and make them available for monitoring. Common event categories in a SIEM let reviewers search related activity across supported sources.
DE.CM-01
Monitor networks and network services for adverse events. Supported network and EDR host records provide evidence for correlation and investigation.
DE.AE-03
Correlate information from multiple sources. Correlation in a SIEM connects related events across sources while preserving the records behind the resulting finding.
RS.MA-02
Triage and validate incident reports. A SOAR incident workflow retains ownership, evidence, approvals and actions so reviewers can follow the response.
RS.AN-06
Record investigation actions and preserve the records’ integrity and provenance. Signed records from a SIEM and verification material support an independent check of the evidence’s integrity.
RS.AN-07
Collect incident data and preserve its integrity and provenance. Signed records from a SIEM and verification material support an independent check of the evidence’s integrity.
Questions
Is there a CSF certification?
No. NIST does not offer certifications or endorsements of CSF-related products.
Is there a ready CSF report?
No. Any saved query can run as a scheduled report.
Can our assessor check the logs without ARRTECH?
Yes. A signed SIEM export includes the verification material and a standalone verifier, allowing an independent check of record integrity.
Which outcomes fit best?
RS.AN-06 and RS.AN-07, which ask for records with integrity and provenance.
Guide
What is NIST CSF 2.0?
A voluntary framework of cybersecurity outcomes, published by NIST in February 2024.
What are the six functions?
Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover.
What is a profile?
An organization’s current or target outcomes, used to plan the gap between them.
How ARRTECH takes care of NIST CSF outcomes
Connects security activity into a signed record, giving incident decisions and board reporting evidence that can be independently verified.
Protects intellectual property and customer trust, with content-aware controls that let organizations adopt AI on their own terms.
Expands response capacity through automation, with defined human authority and a record of who approved what.
Finds changes in behavior that predefined rules miss, connecting the signs of an attack so teams can understand what warrants action.
Investigates alerts, tests explanations and prepares the evidence, giving analysts more capacity while people retain authority over the response.
