CIS Controls GAP Analysis Service
Strengthening your security, one step at a time
Organisations of all sizes are constantly at high risk of breaches that could disrupt operations, compromise sensitive data, and tarnish reputations.
To address these challenges, cyber security practitioners worldwide turn to the CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls) – a set of best practices designed to fortify cyber defences effectively.
What are the CIS Controls?
The CIS Critical Security Controls v.8 is a comprehensive security framework designed to help organisations of all sizes protect themselves against cyber threats. Composed of a collection of high priority must do actions, organisations can measure their current cyber security capability by using the controls and safeguards as a benchmark and baseline.
Cyber attacks often capitalise on vulnerabilities stemming from poor cyber security practices, such as unpatched software, misconfigured systems, and outdated solutions. The CIS Controls address these weak points by incorporating fundamental security measures that help establish strong cyber hygiene. By following these controls, your organisation will significantly reduce your cyber vulnerability.
