K12 SIX Updates 2022 - 2023 Essential Cybersecurity Protections to Align to CISA’s Cybersecurity Performance Goals v1.01 (CPGs)

Today, K12 SIX is pleased to announce the release of Version 1.2 of the K12 SIX Essential K-12 Cybersecurity Protections for the 2022-23 School Year: Implementation Standards. This is the second, minor revision of the 2022-23 SY standards. It updates Version 1.1 alignments to the recently released Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Cross-Sector Cybersecurity Performance Goals v1.01 (CPGs) alongside existing alignments to the NIST CSF v1.1 and the CIS Controls v8.

In its January 2023 report, “Protecting Our Future: Partnering to Safeguard K-12 Organizations From Cybersecurity Threats,” CISA recommended K-12 organizations scaffold into the implementation of the CPGs after implementation of the highest priority cybersecurity controls, such as those identified in the K12 SIX Essentials Series.
