What is MITRE D3FEND and who does it apply to?
MITRE D3FEND is a compliance framework from International with 8 domains and 8 controls. MITRE D3FEND is a knowledge base/graph that catalogs cybersecurity countermeasures and maps them to ATT&CK techniques. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
What does MITRE D3FEND actually require?
MITRE D3FEND has 8 controls organised across 8 domains. The largest domains are Deceive Tactic - MITRE D3FEND (1 controls), Detect Tactic - MITRE D3FEND (1 controls), Evict Tactic - MITRE D3FEND (1 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.
If I already comply with another framework, how much of MITRE D3FEND do I already cover?
MITRE D3FEND maps to 137 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are OWASP ASVS (75% coverage), ISMAP (Japan) (75% coverage), MITRE ATT&CK (75% coverage). Use our comparison tool to explore control-level mappings between frameworks.
How do I implement MITRE D3FEND?
Start your MITRE D3FEND compliance journey by running a self-assessment on our platform to identify your current compliance posture. Our AI advisory can answer specific questions about MITRE D3FEND requirements, and cross-framework mapping helps you leverage existing controls from other frameworks you may already comply with.
