Protect your network against a data compromise
A CIS Controls Assessment provides risk reduction and protection against dangerous threat actors. SecurityMetrics uses the latest CIS Controls version to strengthen and protect your network against advanced threats.
CIS Controls were created by IT and cybersecurity experts who wanted to compile global best security practices and prevent attacks in a wide range of sectors, including retail, manufacturing, healthcare, education, government, and more.

CIS Controls assessment timeline
01
Gap assessment and remediation
Time varies based on organization size
Your initial or gap assessment will begin with a phone interview that goes over the scope of your network and sensitive data environment. You will also be introduced to the CIS Controls requirements. At the same time, your SecurityMetrics CIS Assessor gets a preliminary feel for security areas you may need to improve. During this phase, any initial remediation work can take place before the onsite assessment.
02
Onsite validation
Less than a week
Once you are ready for your validation assessment, a SecurityMetrics CIS Controls Assessor will visit your facility and locations that are in scope. They will begin collecting evidence that demonstrates compliance to the CIS Controls. If any weaknesses are found, a post-assessment report will be generated to highlight areas that need remediation.
03
Reporting and final remediation
Less than 45 days after onsite assessment
If you want to fix weaknesses discovered during the onsite validation phase, this phase is the time to remediate and work on meeting CIS Controls. During this time, your assessor will begin a report detailing your results and post-onsite remediation efforts. A final report that documents your compliance to the CIS Controls is issued.
Post-assessment reports are generated to highlight areas that need remediation
