Now Available: CIS Control Compliance Reports

What are the CIS Critical Security Controls?

The CIS (Center for Internet Security) Critical Security Controls, referred to as CIS Controls, are a set of best practices any organization can use to strengthen their cybersecurity posture.

“The CIS 18 are prioritized, easy to understand, and extremely cost-effective for small to mid-size organizations looking to prove they are secure enough to do business in today’s marketplace. I highly recommend starting with CIS in building your cybersecurity program.”

– Jim Long, Managing Partner - The Long Law Firm, PLLC (Source: CIS)
