CIS Controls Implementation Checklist

A Practical Guide to Building a Stronger Cybersecurity Foundation

Cyber threats are growing in scale and complexity—and many organizations still lack visibility into the systems and software they rely on every day. That’s where the CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls) come in.

Developed by the Center for Internet Security, this framework includes 18 essential controls designed to help you reduce risk, protect sensitive data, and align with industry best practices.

Use this checklist to:

• Evaluate your current security posture

• Identify and prioritize gaps

• Align with proven cybersecurity standards

Before you begin, review the Implementation Groups (IGs) to determine which level best matches your organization’s size, resources, and risk profile.
