What are CIS Controls?
Initially developed in 2009 by the SANS Institute and known as the SANS Critical Controls, the CIS Controls are now managed by the Center for Internet Security (CIS). The controls are periodically updated by a worldwide community of experts who apply their experience as CISOs and security professionals. These guidelines map to popular compliance frameworks, including the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, NIST 800-53, and ISO 27000. They help organizations comply with regulations like PCI DSS, HIPAA, NERC CIP, and FISMA. And they are endorsed by respected authorities, including the U.S. Government and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). The current version of the CIS Controls is 8.1.

CIS Critical Security Control Implementation Groups
Implementation Groups (IGs) are the recommended guidance to prioritize implementation of the CIS Critical Security Controls. In an effort to assist enterprises of every size, IGs are divided into three groups. They are based on the risk profile and resources an enterprise has available to them to implement the CIS Controls.
