CIS Critical Security Control Services
Competing frameworks make it hard to know where to start. The CIS Critical Security Controls give you 18 practices in a defined order of priority.
The CIS Critical Security Controls set out 18 controls, prioritized and derived from observed attack patterns. CIS publishes mappings to the frameworks you may already be working toward, including NIST CSF, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS, which means the work supports those programs rather than duplicating them. Each control is measurable, which gives you progress you can demonstrate.

-
