Achieving cyber resilience: aligning Mimecast with the UK CAF
From framework to function: how Mimecast supports each CAF objective
Key Points
- The NCSC's Cyber Assessment Framework is the government standard for organizations running essential services, built around four objectives and 14 principles that span the full scope of security capability.
- True resilience means keeping essential services running before, during, and after an attack, not just blocking threats at the perimeter.
- Mimecast maps to every CAF objective, giving security teams a clear connection from governance and risk management through to detection and recovery.
The NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) is the UK government's standard for assessing cyber resilience in organizations responsible for essential services. It is structured around four objectives: Managing Security Risk, Protecting Against Cyber Attack, Detecting Cyber Security Events, and Minimising the Impact of Cyber Security Incidents. Each objective contains a set of principles that together cover 14 areas of security capability.
Achieving cyber resilience means more than blocking threats, it means maintaining essential services before, during, and after an attack. Mimecast maps directly to every objective of the CAF, giving security teams a clear line of sight from governance to recovery.
