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.
Below you'll find all of the requirements of this framework. In Cyberday, we map all requirement to global tasks, making multi-compliance management easy. Do it once, and see the progress across all frameworks!
Validate security measures after each penetration test. If deemed necessary, modify rulesets and
capabilities to detect the techniques used during testing.












Perform periodic internal penetration tests based on program requirements, no less than annually.
The testing may be clear box or opaque box.




Establish and maintain a documented vulnerability management process for enterprise assets. Review and update documentation annually, or when significant enterprise changes occur that could impact this Safeguard.




















Establish and maintain a risk-based remediation strategy documented in a remediation process, with monthly, or more frequent, reviews.




Perform operating system updates on enterprise assets through automated patch management on a monthly, or more frequent, basis.








Perform application updates on enterprise assets through automated patch management on a monthly, or more frequent, basis.




Perform automated vulnerability scans of internal enterprise assets on a quarterly, or more frequent, basis. Conduct both authenticated and unauthenticated scans.




Perform automated vulnerability scans of externally-exposed enterprise assets. Perform scans on a monthly, or more frequent, basis.




Remediate detected vulnerabilities in software through processes and tooling on a monthly, or more frequent, basis, based on the remediation process.
