Public Comment Invited on Draft NICE Framework Update Process, Refactored Ability Statements, and Second Draft of NISTIR on Competencies

CALL FOR COMMENTS


NIST has released three draft items related to the Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (NICE Framework). 


Proposed NICE Framework Data Update ProcessAn ongoing review and update process for NICE Framework data (Work Roles, Competencies, and Task, Knowledge, and Skill [TKS] statements) is being proposed in order to ensure that the NICE Framework is agile, flexible, interoperable, and modular. This process will enable NICE Framework implementers and stakeholders to suggest changes, allow for more regular updates, make NICE Framework data available in machine-readable formats, and other improvements. This resource will provide more information about what to expect.

We listened to your comments from earlier this year about the first version, we’ve adjusted to better define NICE Framework Compete ..
