Telco Profile v2.0

The Telco Profile 2.0 is a community profile built on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0. It is designed to help telecommunications companies—especially small and mid-sized network service providers—establish, evaluate, and improve their cybersecurity posture quickly and effectively.

This profile was created by aggregating, analyzing, and cross-referencing cybersecurity priorities from several authoritative industry sources, including the FCC's Communications Security, Reliability, and Interoperability Council (CSRIC), NTCA's Sector-Specific Guidance for Small Network Service Providers, CISA's Cross-Sector Cybersecurity Performance Goals (CPGs), and the NIST CSF 2.0. By synthesizing these inputs, the profile produces a unified, weighted priority ranking of CSF 2.0 subcategories tailored to the telecommunications sector.
