Compliance Requirements in CIS?

The Centre for Internet Security (CIS) provides a range of compliance services to help organizations meet regulatory requirements and industry standards. Some of the key compliance services offered by CIS include: 

  1. Security benchmark assessments 
  2. Certification programs 
  3. Compliance guidance 
  4. Security audits 

Why the CIS CSC may be a good option for you?

In short, these controls can provide value to most organizations 

✔ For a smaller organization with limited security it’s a simple, scalable, approach to building a basic program and improving it over time. The three levels of implementation guidance provide a logical construct that provides both a near and longer-term action plan. 

✔For a larger or smaller organization with a reasonably strong security posture it can be used to augment current security practices. Frameworks like ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are excellent approaches to building a comprehensive security program, however, their required flexibility reduces the specificity of their guidance. We sometimes use CIS CSC during ISO 27001 Internal Audits or SOC 2 readiness assessments to provide a more prescriptive reference for the auditor. 

✔ It’s worth noting that CIS CSC tends to be particularly appealing to IT professionals moving into security as it takes a very technical and tactical approach to security.
