CIS regulation
What are CIS Controls?
The CIS Controls (Center for Internet Security Controls) are a prioritized set of cybersecurity best practices designed to help organizations defend against the most common digital threats.
Developed by the Center for Internet Security, these controls provide a practical, scalable framework suitable for both large enterprises and small to medium-sized businesses.
Why implement CIS Controls in your organization?
CIS Controls effectively protect against frequent attacks such as ransomware, unauthorized access, poorly managed vulnerabilities, and lateral movement within corporate networks.
Unlike more complex frameworks, CIS Controls are organized into maturity levels, allowing a gradual, risk-based adoption tailored to your organization’s size and capabilities.
Who are CIS Controls for?
The framework consists of 18 key controls covering:
- Organizations of all sizes seeking a solid cybersecurity foundation
- Entities handling sensitive data or subject to compliance audits
- Teams aiming to align with frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, or GDPR
- IT and security departments needing clear, actionable technical standards
The current framework comprises 18 key controls, covering:
- Asset inventory
- Vulnerability management
- Access control
- Continuous monitoring
- Incident response
- Data protection
- Increased risk of cyberattacks due to lack of basic controls
- Non-compliance with regulations or contractual obligations requiring minimum technical measures
- Difficulty demonstrating cybersecurity maturity to clients or auditors
- Data loss, reputational damage, and financial impact in case of incidents
