CIS Controls

CIS SecureSuite® Membership provides tools and resources to help organizations improve their configuration defenses and implement cybersecurity best practices. A CIS SecureSuite Consulting and Services Membership for service providers allows organizations with consulting engagements to use the membership resources (including CIS Benchmarks™, CIS-CAT® Pro, Build Kits, and the CIS Critical Security Controls®) to help audit and secure client systems. CIS SecureSuite is used by security consultants around the world to help clients assess their security posture, monitor conformance over time, develop customized configuration policies and reports, and share compliance status with auditors and business partners.

The CIS Critical Security Controls® (CIS Controls®) are a prescriptive, prioritized, and simplified set of critical security controls and cybersecurity best practices developed by a community of cybersecurity experts that can help support compliance in a multi-framework era. They are leveraged by organizations around the world to provide specific guidance and a clear pathway to achieve the goals and objectives described by multiple legal, regulatory, and policy frameworks. The CIS Controls are prioritized in Implementation Groups (IGs). Separating the CIS Controls into IGs make their application across multiple frameworks easier. Implementing all of the CIS Controls is the definition of an effective cybersecurity program. Effectively implementing IG 1 represents basic cyber hygiene for any organization.

“We welcome CompCiti Business Solutions Inc. as a CIS SecureSuite® Member, and look forward to collaborating with them to help enhance their cybersecurity posture and that of their clients,” said Curtis Dukes, CIS Executive Vice President of Security Best Practices & Automation Group.

“We are pleased to add our new CIS SecureSuite® Membership to our already robust cyber defense toolbox,” said Sam Vohra, CEO of CompCiti Business Solutions Inc. “CIS SecureSuite Members get access to multiple cybersecurity resources including the security guidance of the CIS Controls and CIS Benchmarks, which are recommended as industry-accepted system hardening standards used by organizations in meeting compliance for FISMA, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and other security requirements,” he added.
