2. Structured Discussion 1: Question
Please provide an assessment of the Department of Energy (DOE) Cybersecurity Capability Model (C2M2), Version 2.0, July 2021: Section 5: Using the [C2M2] Model [four steps] with respect to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) : Section 3.2: Establishing or Improving a Cybersecurity Program [seven steps].
Grading approach: Your Analysis and Conclusions are weighted heavier for grading.
When developing your answer to Structured Discussion 1, please consider using Figure 1:
