What are the CIS Critical Security Controls?

The CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls) are a set of prioritized, best-practice actions designed to bolster an organization’s defenses against common cyber threats. CIS 18 refers to the latest iteration, comprising 18 key controls.

CIS 18 is a set of prescriptive, actionable steps that enhance defenses and complement broader frameworks such as NIST and ISO 27001. It provides clear guidance on what actions to take, serving as an excellent starting point for building robust security.

Organizations often see noticeable improvements in their security posture by implementing just the initial CIS Controls. These actions provide rapid risk reduction and build a foundation for continued progress.

While not legally required in most cases, implementing CIS 18 is strongly recommended by industry experts. It is widely regarded as a benchmark for foundational cybersecurity practices, helping organizations secure their operations effectively.
