Understanding CIS Controls
The CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls) are a globally recognized set of prioritized cybersecurity best practices designed to protect organizations from the most common and impactful cyber threats.
Developed by the Center for Internet Security, the framework provides clear, actionable guidance for implementing security controls across people, processes, and technology.
The CIS Controls are aligned with major frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, and CMMC, making them a practical foundation for building and maturing a cybersecurity program.
Organizations adopt CIS Controls to establish a strong baseline of security, reduce risk, and improve visibility into their cybersecurity posture.
