CIS Benchmarks

CIS Benchmarks are comprehensive, consensus-driven security guidelines developed by the Center for Internet Security to help organizations securely configure a wide range of IT systems, including operating systems, cloud environments, applications, and network devices. Each benchmark contains detailed, prescriptive recommendations for hardening specific technologies, covering areas such as user account management, password policies, network settings, and software updates. The benchmarks are organized into two levels: Level 1 provides essential security controls suitable for most organizations with minimal impact on usability, while Level 2 offers more stringent measures for environments requiring higher security. These benchmarks are widely recognized and regularly updated by a global community of IT professionals, serving as a foundational resource for reducing attack surfaces, improving compliance, and mitigating cybersecurity risks.
