Hikvision has announced that it is one of the first companies worldwide to earn certification under the newly released NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0, following an independent audit by the British Standards Institution (BSI). The achievement reflects the company’s commitment to aligning its cybersecurity governance and risk management practices with internationally recognised standards.
Developed by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, the NIST CSF provides a globally accepted structure for managing and reducing cybersecurity risks. The latest version, 2.0, expands on previous iterations by introducing “Govern” as a sixth core function, placing stronger emphasis on cybersecurity as a strategic business concern. It also integrates supply chain and third-party risk management into this governance model, recognising the increasingly interconnected nature of modern operations.
According to Hikvision, its certification confirms that the company’s end-to-end cybersecurity system aligns with all six core NIST functions – Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. These principles are embedded across Hikvision’s corporate strategy, compliance programmes, and supply chain activities to ensure consistent protection and resilience.
The company noted that this milestone adds to a broad portfolio of global certifications, including ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 27701:2019, and ISO/IEC 27017, among others. In total, Hikvision has earned more than 25 security and compliance accreditations worldwide.
The certification underscores how cybersecurity frameworks are becoming integral to the physical security sector’s digital evolution. As video systems, AI platforms, and connected devices continue to converge within enterprise environments, alignment with standards such as NIST CSF 2.0 demonstrates how manufacturers are adapting governance models to protect data integrity and reinforce trust across their technology ecosystems.
