The National Capabilities Assessment Framework (NCAF) is a structured tool developed by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) to help EU member states assess the maturity and effectiveness of their national cybersecurity strategies. NCAF provides a set of criteria and benchmarks that countries can use to evaluate their cybersecurity capabilities across various domains, including policy, legal, technical, organizational, and capacity-building measures. The framework supports continuous improvement by identifying strengths and gaps, facilitating knowledge sharing, and guiding the allocation of resources. By using NCAF, nations can better align with EU cybersecurity standards and enhance their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats.
