Which factor is most likely to influence an organization's selection of a target CSF Tier?

The organization's risk tolerance and business requirements

The organization's marketing department's recommendations

The organization's preference for using open-source software

The number of employees in the organization

A government agency is required to comply with strict regulatory standards for cybersecurity. They have a high risk tolerance for certain low-impact systems but a very low risk tolerance for systems that handle sensitive citizen data. They are determining their target tier for the NIST CSF. What is the most appropriate approach to tier selection?

Select a single target tier for the entire organization based on the highest risk systems

Select a target tier for each system or function based on its risk tolerance and business requirements

Select the highest tier (Tier 4) for all systems to ensure maximum security

Select the lowest tier (Tier 1) to minimize resource expenditure

How do CSF Tiers represent a progression in cybersecurity risk management?

From automated to manual cybersecurity processes

From reactive and ad hoc to proactive and adaptive practices

From high to low cybersecurity risk tolerance

From formal to informal risk management practices
