Oh no! No description found. But not to worry. Read from Tasks below how to advance this topic.

The CIS18 critical security controls is a comprehensive set of instructions and measures released by The Center for Internet Security. Controls are designed to fix and prevent common vulnerabilities and to offer organizations a structured way to strengthen their security.

The CIS18 critical security controls cover the different fields of cyber security, including vulnerability management, secure configuration, access control, incident management and more. It is a comprehensive set of instructions and measures released by The Center for Internet Security. The controls are designed to fix and prevent common vulnerabilities and to offer organizations a structured way to strengthen their security.

The CIS18 controls were formerly known as the SANS Critical Security Controls (SANS Top 20), and the current version 8.1 is updated to align with the evolving industry standards and cyber security threats. The controls are a prescriptive, prioritized, and simplified set of best practices that any organization can use to strengthen their security measures.

The ISMS component hierachy

When building an ISMS, it's important to understand the different levels of information hierarchy. Here's how Cyberday is structured.

Framework

Sets the overall compliance standard or regulation your organization needs to follow.

Requirements

Break down the framework into specific obligations that must be met.

Tasks

Concrete actions and activities your team carries out to satisfy each requirement.

Policies

Documented rules and practices that are created and maintained as a result of completing tasks.

Never duplicate effort. Do it once - improve compliance across frameworks.

Reach multi-framework compliance in the simplest possible way
Security frameworks tend to share the same core requirements - like risk management, backup, malware, personnel awareness or access management.
Cyberday maps all frameworks’ requirements into shared tasks - one single plan that improves all frameworks’ compliance.
Do it once - we automatically apply it to all current and future frameworks.
