CIS Benchmarks are the detailed configuration recommendations for strengthening specific systems, network devices and applications, and they exist for over 100+ IT products and systems. The benchmarks bolster overall security posture, help meet compliance requirements for other security and privacy frameworks (NIST, PCI DSS, HIPAA, etc.), and allow vendors to get CIS certification for their cybersecurity products. Regardless of need, CIS Benchmarks and CIS Controls are vital components to all cybersecurity strategies.

3 Steps To Gain & Maintain CIS Compliance

Achieving CIS compliance requires implementing the mandatory CIS Benchmark recommendations and any accompanying CIS Controls, for each of your applicable systems. Your compliance posture is given a score based on how well your configurations adhere to benchmark recommendations, and this score can be used to determine if changes need to be made to fill security gaps.

Attestation, Visibility and Reporting

Gaining Visibility and Proving Your Compliance

When performing an audit, you need granular visibility into all your assets and systems to be able to determine their adherence to benchmark recommendations.

Measurable Compliance Posture

Continuously Monitoring Your Compliance Posture

Your systems need to be configured based on the CIS Benchmark recommendations, but change can occur unexpectedly. You need instant insight into your compliance posture to know if any checks are failing and which steps need to be taken to fix it.

Requirements & Controls

Implementing Mandatory Security Requirements and Controls

CIS Benchmarks frequently reference CIS Controls, the list of recommended actions to take in securing your organization from cyberattacks. CIS compliance requires the implementation of these controls as they pertain to each benchmark, and include malware detection, file integrity monitoring (FIM), behavioral detection (IDS), and others.

How Uptycs Helps You Meet CIS Guidelines
