Our Cybersecurity Framework

Built on Industry Standards

Our methodology is rooted in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, released in February 2024 as the first major update since its creation in 2014. This internationally recognized model for managing cyber risk now includes six key functional pillars, with the addition of a new Govern function that emphasizes the importance of strategic cybersecurity leadership and governance.

By building on this updated foundation of established standards, we ensure that our solutions align with current industry best practices while providing a clear pathway for demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements specific to logistics and transportation operations.

Tailored for Logistics Operations

Keep It Cyber adapts NIST CSF 2.0 to meet the fast-moving demands of transportation environments and the managed service providers that support them. The expanded scope of CSF 2.0 now explicitly aims to help all organizations—not just those in critical infrastructure—making it perfectly suited for logistics companies of all sizes.

• Supply chain security: Comprehensive controls for managing third-party access, vendor risk, and secure data sharing across transportation networks and freight partnerships
• Operational resilience: Business continuity planning that acknowledges the 24/7 nature of logistics and the critical importance of system availability for dispatch and fleet operations
• Regulatory alignment: Mapped controls that satisfy multiple frameworks including CTPAT, FMCSA, CMMC v2, and cyber insurance requirements
• Practical implementation: Real-world guidance that works with industry-specific systems like TMS, dispatch platforms, ELD technologies, and freight management systems

Six Core Framework Functions

Every policy, toolkit, and template we produce is structured around the six core functions of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, providing a comprehensive approach to security that covers the entire lifecycle of risk management for logistics operations:

• Govern
  Develop and implement the organizational structure, policies, and processes through which cybersecurity is managed. This new function emphasizes that cybersecurity is a major source of enterprise risk that senior leaders must actively manage—critical for logistics companies facing shipper audits and insurance reviews.
• Identify
  Develop a comprehensive understanding of your systems, assets, people, and risks to build the foundation of your cybersecurity program. This includes asset management, risk assessment, and business environment analysis tailored to transportation operations, fleet management, and supply chain vulnerabilities.
• Protect
  Implement safeguards and controls to ensure delivery of critical services and protect sensitive information. Our focus includes access management, security awareness training, and data security practices designed specifically for logistics environments with mobile workforces and distributed operations.
• Detect
  Define processes and capabilities to identify cybersecurity events and discover anomalies. We emphasize continuous monitoring, detection processes, and anomaly identification that works with specialized logistics technology stacks and real-time operational requirements.
• Respond
  Plan and execute appropriate activities when facing a detected cybersecurity incident. Our framework provides incident response planning, communications protocols, and mitigation strategies specific to supply chain operations that minimize disruption to freight movements and customer commitments.
• Recover
  Restore capabilities or services impaired by a cybersecurity incident and implement improvements. We focus on recovery planning, continuous improvement, and communications strategies that get logistics operations back online quickly while strengthening defenses for the future.

Continuous Improvement & Updates

We regularly update our frameworks to align with evolving threats, regulatory changes, and operational realities in the logistics world. With the release of NIST CSF 2.0 in February 2024, our content has been comprehensively updated to provide the most current guidance available to transportation companies and their technology partners.

Our approach leverages the extensive implementation resources now available with CSF 2.0, including the searchable catalog of informative references that cross-references the framework to more than 50 other cybersecurity documents. Whether you're preparing for a customer audit, responding to an insurance questionnaire, or hardening your fleet systems, our content helps you stay ahead of requirements while maintaining operational efficiency.

All materials include quarterly updates to ensure alignment with the latest regulatory guidance, threat intelligence, and industry best practices specific to transportation and logistics operations.
