How the engagement runs
- Discovery call. A 20-minute conversation to confirm the review is the right next step. No charge.

What you receive at the end

Findings are structured around the six NIST CSF 2.0 functions. See what those functions mean in a logistics setting. NIST CSF 2.0 is a voluntary framework. It is not a certification, and DefendVista is not affiliated with or endorsed by NIST.
Questions about the review
What is the timetable?
Most reviews complete within two to three weeks of the management session, depending on how quickly requested evidence is available.
Do you need admin access to our systems?
No. The review works from a management session, supplied evidence and reported configuration. We do not require administrative credentials.
Will this make us compliant?
No. The review is a risk and readiness assessment. It does not provide certification, compliance or any guaranteed outcome.
What happens after the report?
You can act on the plan yourself, use your existing IT provider, or ask us to scope implementation support separately.
