NICE Framework Mapping Tool
The tool will:
- Help you inventory your cyber workforce and begin workforce planning
- Enable you to print out a report to use for workforce development
- Prepare to report OPM cyber position coding (“OPM Data Element” requirements)
- Determine the skills and type of training your team needs
- See where your staff may be underutilized
This tool is based on the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (NIST Special Publication 800-181, August 2017). Supporting data for a revision to the Framework is under review by NIST and scheduled for release in late 2021, at which time this tool will be updated. Please visit the NICE Framework Resource Center for more information, as well as the latest updates.
