# Resilience

A framework like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) helps drive more mature security programs. With the NIST CSF, you can easily and consistently assess where you are today and where you want your cybersecurity to be.

NIST CSF helps organizations measure and report on their respective security programs. The framework gives security professionals a standardized way to measure and talk about their security maturity, and the progress they are making on those efforts. Whether you are making the case for additional security budgets or presenting to your board of directors, the NIST CSF gives you a tangible and effective way to do that.

We have created a guide to provide a quick tour of the framework, an easy-to-use tool for rating your organization, and an explanation of how Expel can help you meet your goals and improve your ratings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.expel.io/workbench-reference/tools/resilience.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
