The CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls) are a prioritized set of cybersecurity best practices designed to help organizations improve their security posture and defend against real-world threats.
Developed through a global community of cybersecurity professionals, the CIS Controls provide a simplified and actionable approach to protecting systems, data, and operations—without unnecessary complexity.
Simplify Your Approach to Cybersecurity
The CIS Controls break down security into clear, actionable steps—making it easier to implement and maintain strong protection across your organization.
Build a Foundation for Compliance
Implementing CIS Controls supports alignment with frameworks like:
Improve Cyber Hygiene
Many cyber incidents are caused by basic gaps like unpatched systems or poor configurations. CIS helps address these foundational risks.
Turn Security into Action
Rather than abstract guidance, the CIS Controls focus on practical actions that evolve with your systems and business needs.
The CIS Controls are organized into 18 top-level categories, each focusing on a key area of cybersecurity.
These controls help organizations:
Each of the 18 CIS Controls is supported by specific Safeguards, which define the exact actions needed to improve security.
These Safeguards:
This structure allows organizations to move from strategy → execution in a clear and manageable way.
CIS uses Implementation Groups (IGs) to help organizations prioritize their efforts based on size, risk, and maturity.
IG1 - Essential Cyber Hygiene
IG2 - Intermediate Maturity
IG3 - Advanced Security
CIS Controls are ideal for:
