# KxI Framework

The integrated hierarchical framework of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), Key Control Indicators (KCIs), and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), providing a practical mechanism to operationalize the 10 Top Level Cyber Threat Clusters. Each threat cluster has associated KRI, KCI, and KPI values for managing cyber risk and measuring overall cybersecurity program performance. Base Level Indicators (BxIs) represent the lowest operational level that still makes sense.
