CIS Benchmarks

CIS Benchmarks represent a set of globally respected best practices for protecting IT systems against cyber threats. Benchmarking generally compares a system to official recommendations from, e.g., hardware manufacturers, software publishers, or institutions.

The CIS Benchmarks are published by the US-based CIS (Centre for Internet Security) and contain security guidelines covering seven key areas:

1. Operating Systems
2. Servers
3. Cloud Infrastructure
4. Mobile Phones
5. Network Devices
6. Desktop Software
7. Multifunctional Printing Devices
