Assessment tiers & levels Lavawall supports
Lavawall assesses NIST Cybersecurity Framework at every level below, so you can start where you are and step up as your program matures.
| Tier / level | What it covers | Builds on lower |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1: Partial | Risk management practices are not formalized, and risk is managed in an ad hoc manner. | — |
| Tier 2: Risk Informed | Risk management practices are approved by management but may not be established as organizational-wide policy. | — |
| Tier 3: Repeatable | Risk management practices are formally approved and expressed as policy. | — |
| Tier 4: Adaptive | The organization adapts its cybersecurity practices based on lessons learned and predictive indicators. | — |
How Lavawall® helps you get to NIST Cybersecurity Framework compliance
Most of NIST Cybersecurity Framework comes down to technical controls you have to run and prove: keeping systems patched, hardening configuration, detecting breaches early, backing up what matters, controlling access, and keeping evidence that all of it actually happened. Lavawall® runs those controls across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace from one console, maps them to NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and tracks your posture continuously instead of once a year at audit time.
- Assess your current state against NIST Cybersecurity Framework in the Lavawall GRC module, with the questionnaire and control set built in.
- Remediate the gaps with the same platform — automated patching, configuration fixes, backups, and access review — not a separate project.
- Evidence everything with timestamped, exportable records auditors, insurers, and clients accept.
