Overview
Hyver supports multiple cybersecurity frameworks, but only one is designated as the primary framework. This article explains how the primary framework is used, how it affects scoring across Hyver, and how to switch between frameworks for different maturity workflows.
What Is the Primary Framework?
The primary framework is the one Hyver uses for all platform-wide maturity-related calculations, including:
Risk dashboards
Mitigation plans
Findings
Assets
Any scoring or data visualizations outside the maturity assessment screen rely exclusively on the primary framework.
Working with Multiple Frameworks
You can view and use more than one framework in Hyver — typically NIST CSF 1.1 and NIST CSF 2.0 — but only the primary framework is used outside the maturity screen.
Key things to know:
Data entered in each framework is independent and saved separately
The non-primary framework can still be used for rating and planning, but its scores won’t appear in platform-wide metrics
This is especially useful during migration from CSF 1.1 to 2.0, allowing you to populate CSF 2.0 data without losing 1.1
How to Set the Primary Framework
Only Hyver administrators can set or change the primary framework:
Go to Settings
Click on Maturity
Choose the desired framework as the Primary Framework
Wrap-up / Next Steps
Choosing your primary framework ensures consistent data usage across Hyver. If you're transitioning to NIST CSF 2.0, consider setting it as your primary only after you're confident in your assessment — or use both side-by-side until you're ready.
