# Verify the NIST CSF Use Case Accelerator

After installing the GRC: NIST Cybersecurity Framework \(CSF\) Use Case Accelerator, review the NIST CSF application structure, core content, and demo data, if selected during installation.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **User Administration** > **Roles** and review the roles installed with the NIST CSF application.

    These roles contain nist\_csf in their names; for example, sn\_irm\_nist\_csf.security\_officer. The roles are associated with NIST CSF application modules to provide access based on the user's role.

    **Note:** The basic NIST CSF user role is needed to access the application. This role contains the reader or user roles from the ServiceNow® GRC suite of applications.

2.  In the Application Navigator, type **NIST CSF**, and verify the application core content.
