One of the most likely causes of an organization's NIST CSF implementation failure is that the potential benefits of proposed improvements are not considered, which means that the organization does not conduct a cost-benefit analysis of the solutions to address the gaps between the current and target profiles. This can result in a lack of justification, prioritization, and alignment of the implementation plan with the organization's mission drivers, risk appetite, and resource constraints12.
