NCM ICT Security Principles is a framework for ICT security published and maintained by the Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM). The security principles advise businesses and organisations on how to protect their information systems from unauthorized access, damage or misuse.
The principles focus on technological and organisational measures. Measures concerning physical security and the human perspective are generally not covered. The measures apply to both unintentional and intentional acts, although the main focus is on intentional acts.
In this framework there are 21 security principles with a total of 118 security measures, distributed across four categories: i) identify, ii) protect and maintain, iii) detect and iv) respond and recover.
