FAQ Image
What are the CIS Critical Security Controls?
The CIS Controls are a set of 18 cybersecurity best practices developed to help organizations reduce their attack surface and defend against common threats. They’re practical, prescriptive, and mapped to real-world attack data, which makes them a great starting point for building or improving your existing security program.
Who should use the CSC CIS Controls?
From small businesses to large enterprises, any organization can use the CIS Controls to strengthen cybersecurity. They're especially helpful for teams that need a clear, structured path to better security but may not have unlimited resources or staff.
What are the CSC CIS Implementation Groups?
The Controls are broken into Implementation Groups (IG1, IG2, IG3) based on an organization’s size, risk profile, and cybersecurity maturity. This makes it easier to focus on the most important actions first, then scale up as your needs evolve.
Is CIS CSC compliance mandatory?
No, CIS CSC compliance is not mandatory. However, many organizations choose to adopt it or use it alongside frameworks like NIST CSF or ISO 27001 because it offers practical guidance rooted in real-world threats.
How does Netwrix help with CIS CSC compliance?
Netwrix CIS CSC compliance solutions map to many of the Controls, including asset inventory, access control, audit logging, threat detection, and incident response.
