City of Tempe Cybersecurity Framework Scores by Quarter

The City of Tempe provides Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) scores for each CSF category per fiscal year quarter. The data is used to measure and report on the city's internal cybersecurity program maturity, based on the NIST framework's five functions: identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in CSF category scores across fiscal year quarters to track cybersecurity program maturity over time.
• Benchmark the 'protect' function scores against other CSF categories to identify relative strengths and weaknesses in the city's security posture.
• Correlate scores from the 'detect' and 'respond' functions to assess the relationship between threat detection capabilities and incident response preparedness.
• Use the quarterly CSF scores to generate executive-level reports on the lifecycle of the organization's cybersecurity risk management.

Strengths

• Data is structured around the established NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), providing a standardized basis for analysis.
• Scores are reported per fiscal year quarter, enabling time-series analysis of cybersecurity maturity.
• The dataset is published under a permissive CC-BY license, allowing for broad reuse and analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset's size, row count, and specific column schema are not provided, limiting an assessment of its analytical scope.
• Data is specific to the City of Tempe's internal program, limiting generalizability to other organizations without contextual adjustment.
• The description does not specify the methodology or scale used for scoring each CSF category, which could affect reproducibility.
