Survey Report: Trends in Security Framework Adoption

Use of security frameworks is growing. How does your organization compare?

Tenable Network Security contracted Dimensional Research to conduct a survey assessing adoption patterns for widely used security frameworks. The survey was completed by 338 IT and security professionals in the U.S. It reveals that 84% of organizations surveyed already leverage some type of security framework. The frameworks most widely used by respondents include:

• National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (NIST CSF)
• Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
• Center for Internet Security Critical Security Controls (CIS)
• ISO/IEC 27001/27002 (ISO)

While 44% of respondents report using more than one security framework, adoption rates for individual frameworks vary significantly by industry and organization size.
