Data breaches have been one of the most common source of concerns related to cybersecurity in the last few years for many organizations. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, strongly impacted this scenario, as organizations operating with EU citizens now have to comply with strict data protection rules. In this paper we present the Italian National Framework for Cybersecurity and Data Protection, a framework derived from the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, that includes elements and tools to appropriately take into account data protection aspects in a way that is coherent and integrated with cybersecurity aspects. The goal of the proposed Framework is to provide organizations of different sizes and nature with a flexible and unified tool for the implementation of comprehensive cybersecurity and data protection programs.
