The entity participating in the Foundational Cybersecurity Assessment is positioned to take the NCSR and continue their security maturity journey year-over-year following participation in the Foundational Cybersecurity Assessment. CISA is authorized to receive and analyze cyber threat indicators, defensive measures, cybersecurity risks, and incidents, and to use this information to make recommendations to federal and nonfederal entities regarding protective and support measures to reduce cyber risk. See 6 U.S.C. 659(c)(1),(9); 652(e)(1)(C). The Foundational Assessment implements these authorities with respect to CISA’s analysis of and support to SLTT entities.
