What is the CIS Controls Framework?

The CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls) is a globally recognized set of best practices aimed at helping organizations defend against the most prevalent cybersecurity threats. Developed by the Center for Internet Security (CIS), these controls provide a practical and prioritized approach to cybersecurity, outlining specific actions that organizations can take to enhance their security posture.

The CIS Controls cover essential areas such as asset management, access control, data protection, and incident response. By implementing these controls, businesses not only fulfill compliance requirements but also establish a systematic and cost-effective defense against cyberattacks. The framework is designed to be applicable to organizations of all sizes, making it a versatile tool in the fight against cyber threats.
