NICE Framework components version 1.0.0 comprises Work Role Categories, Work Roles, Competency Areas, and Task, Knowledge, and Skill (TKS) statements as well as the relationships between those elements. Previously released in 2017 as the Reference Spreadsheet, the NICE Framework components have had a full refresh and update of content based on feedback from recent calls for comment.
Overview of Updates You’ll See in v1.0.0
Work Role Categories and Work Roles
- Minor changes to Work Role Category names, descriptions, and ordering to create a more uniform and complementary approach modeled after technology lifecycles
- Updates to Work Role names, descriptions, and IDs to reflect category updates and to differentiate Work Role functions from job titles
- New Insider Threat Analysis Work Role with associated TKS statements
Competency Areas
- 11 Competency Areas with descriptions
Task, Knowledge, and Skill (TKS) Statements
- Updates to align TKS statements with the TKS Authoring Guide principles
- Removal of duplicate and redundant statements
- Edits to address inconsistent and unclear language
You can access version 1.0.0 of the NICE Framework components in the NICE Framework Resource Center. Also available is a summary of changes and the NICE Framework Components Mapping: 2017 to Version 1.0.0 (March 2024) spreadsheet.
Future Iterations of NICE Framework Components
Version 1.0.0 of the NICE Framework components is the first, official published version since 2017. The NICE Program Office intends to take a software update versioning approach for NICE Framework components, with a mix of minor and major updates over time. While users of the NICE Framework are always encouraged to reference the most recent published version of the components, users may choose to continue using older versions. Please note that outdated versions may not be supported by the NICE Program Office. A record of versions of the NICE Framework can be found on the NICE Framework History and Change Logs webpage.
