CIS Foundation Benchmarks
This page provides an overview of CIS compliance policy and the current CIS requirements & controls monitored by Secberus.
Overview
The CIS Controls® and CIS Benchmarks™ are the global standard and recognized best practices for securing IT systems and data against the most pervasive attacks. These proven guidelines are continuously refined and verified by a volunteer, global community of experienced IT professionals. The official CIS Benchmarks can be found here.
Secberus supports the majority of the AWS, Azure, and GCP CIS Foundation Benchmarks.
