The Framework is structured around four main domains, namely: 
 
Cyber Security Leadership and Governance.
 
Cyber Security Risk Management and Compliance.
 
Cyber Security Operations and Technology.
 
Third Party Cyber Security.
 
For each domain, several subdomains are defined. A subdomain focusses on a specific cyber security topic. Per subdomain, the Framework states a principle, objective and control considerations. 
 
A principle summarizes the main set of required cyber security controls related to the subdomain.
 
The objective describes the purpose of the principle and what the set of required cyber security controls are expected to achieve.
 
The control considerations reflects the mandated cyber security controls that should be considered.
 
Control considerations have been uniquely numbered throughout the Framework. Where applicable, a control consideration can consist of up to 4 levels. 
 
The control considerations are numbered according to the following numbering system:
