NIST CSF 2.0 for startups. From $2,000.

A scored Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) profile for security questionnaires and insurers. A NIST CSF 2.0 profile with a scored gap is issued by you, by self-assessment, never by us. We build the program, the policies and the evidence behind it.

What you get for NIST CSF 2.0.

The same platform every framework runs on, pointed at this one: your answers, your evidence, your documents.

Current and target profileA profile of where you stand today and where you want to be across Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
Scored gap by functionEach outcome scored against your answers, so the gap is a number per function and a list of what closes it.
Policies and evidence to back itPolicies drafted from your answers and an evidence binder organized by CSF category, ready for a questionnaire or an insurer.

How NIST CSF 2.0 runs here.

Four steps, in this order, with the handoff at the end.

  1. Step 1

    Answer the intake in an afternoon

    Describe your systems, your team, and how you handle incidents. The questions follow the six functions so nothing is skipped.

  2. Step 2

    Get a scored profile

    A deterministic gap analysis turns your answers into a current profile and a score per function, measured against the target you choose.

  3. Step 3

    Policies drafted against the gap

    Where the profile shows a gap, policies and action items are written from your own answers to close it.

  4. Step 4

    Use it where it counts

    Paste the profile into security questionnaires, hand it to your cyber insurance broker, or carry the same controls into SOC 2 when a buyer asks.

What NIST CSF 2.0 costs.

Published where it can be published, and arranged with the firm that signs it where it cannot.

$2,000 one time for platform onboarding.

That is the intake, the gap analysis, your policies, the evidence binder and the handoff package.

A NIST CSF 2.0 profile with a scored gap is arranged with you, by self-assessment and quoted before it begins.

NIST CSF 2.0 produces a current and target profile with a scored gap. No certificate exists, and no one issues one.

There is no certificate for this framework. What you get is a documented, evidenced program a buyer or regulator can review.

NIST CSF 2.0 questions.

What buyers ask, and what the work actually involves.

No. The framework produces a profile and a scored gap, and nobody certifies against it. Its value is that questionnaires and insurers recognize its structure, so a scored profile answers most of their questions directly.
Platform onboarding starts at $2,000 and includes the profile, the scored gap, policies, and the evidence binder. If a buyer later asks for an independent review of the profile, that is arranged through partner firms.
Version 2.0 adds Govern as a sixth function, covers organizations of any size rather than critical infrastructure only, and makes supply chain risk explicit. Our mapping is built on 2.0 from the start.
Yes. The controls you put in place for Protect and Detect map onto the SOC 2 criteria, and the same evidence binder carries forward when a customer asks for a report.

Polara Labs builds both sides of the audit: the readiness platform startups use to earn a SOC 2 report, an ISO 27001 certificate or whatever their buyers ask for, and the practice OS audit firms use to run the examination. Every price is published on the page it belongs to.
