Why you should choose NCIFC?

The NCIFC Cybersecurity Certification Framework offers a practical, inclusive, and scalable solution for improving cybersecurity across small, medium, and large businesses. Designed with clarity and accessibility in mind, the framework guides organisations through 17 key security sectors, each containing clearly defined measures supported by real-world industry examples. These examples help organisations understand not only what is required, but also how each measure can be effectively implemented in practice. The framework is supported by a user-friendly website, an intuitive scoring system, and interactive Google Forms, enabling businesses to assess their cybersecurity posture, track progress, and identify areas for improvement with ease.

How NCIFC differs from other existing Frameworks?

While many existing cybersecurity frameworks are tailored primarily for large organisations, NCIFC was specifically designed to address the unique needs and challenges faced by businesses of all sizes. Small enterprises often lack the resources or technical expertise required by complex standards, while medium-sized organisations frequently struggle with scaling security as they grow. NCIFC bridges this gap by offering a tiered structure of certification—Levels 1, 2, and 3—corresponding to business size and security maturity. Unlike traditional frameworks, NCIFC integrates globally recognised standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, and Cyber Essentials, but does so in a way that is more accessible, adaptable, and easier to implement. This ensures businesses receive not only industry-aligned guidance but also practical, real-world support tailored to their specific context and capacity.
