Protect production systems, intellectual property, and supply chain integrity. FrameworkMapper maps your security stack against CIS Controls and NIST CSF v2 — and adds CMMC if you're in the DoD supply chain.
Why This Matters
Production environments face sophisticated threats — from ransomware halting assembly lines to IP theft and supply chain compromise.
Most attacked industry for the 3rd consecutive year

Required for manufacturers in the DoD supply chain — even as subcontractors

Recommended Frameworks
FrameworkMapper supports all frameworks below, with manufacturing-tuned prioritization built in.
| Framework | Why It Applies | Status |
|---|---|---|
| CIS Controls v8.1 | Practical safeguard catalog for both IT and OT environments | Strongly Recommended |
| NIST CSF v2 | Core risk management framework applicable across manufacturing environments | Strongly Recommended |
| CMMC Level 1/2 | Required for manufacturers in the DoD supply chain handling FCI or CUI | Mandatory (DoD supply chain) |
How FrameworkMapper Helps
See how your enterprise IT security tools address CIS Controls and NIST CSF subcategories. Identify the gap between IT security posture and OT requirements.

View AssessmentsThe Universal Control Prioritization Algorithm uses seven factors, each weighted to reflect the realities of manufacturing security programs.
| Factor | Weight | What This Means |
|---|---|---|
| T Threat Relevance | 0.20 | Controls targeting the most common manufacturing threats (ransomware, supply chain attacks) score higher |
| D Dependency Score | 0.15 | Foundation controls that enable others are prioritized |
| E Effort-to-Value | 0.25 | Highest weight — production environments need maximum security impact with minimal disruption to operations |
| B Blast Radius | 0.10 | Controls preventing facility-wide incidents get a boost |
| R Regulatory Criticality | 0.05 | Lower weight for non-DoD manufacturers; higher for those subject to CMMC |
| C Coverage Breadth | 0.15 | Controls addressing multiple attack vectors across IT and OT prioritized |
| A Asset Exposure | 0.10 | Controls protecting OT systems, IP, and production data weighted accordingly |
Manufacturing uses the SMB (V23) weight profile for non-DoD manufacturers. DoD manufacturers should reference the Defense (V05) profile. A dedicated Manufacturing profile (V09) is on the roadmap. For manufacturers outside the DoD supply chain, Effort-to-Value carries the highest weight — production environments need maximum security impact with minimal disruption to operations.
