FAQ
The CIS Critical Security Controls are 18 prioritized cybersecurity best practices that include 153 actionable safeguards. Organizations use them to reduce cyber risk, build strong security fundamentals, and demonstrate a credible security program to customers, partners, and insurers.
CIS Implementation Groups help you match security requirements to your organization's size, risk profile, and maturity.
- IG1 (56 safeguards): essential cyber hygiene for smaller organizations
- IG2 (130 safeguards): additional protections for organizations handling sensitive data and operating in more complex environments
- IG3 (153 safeguards): the full set of safeguards for large or high-risk enterprises
Implementation Groups are cumulative—you start with IG1 and add safeguards as your security program matures.
Released in June 2024, CIS Controls v8.1 added a Governance function aligned with NIST CSF 2.0, introduced Documentation as an asset class, and updated framework mappings and glossary definitions. Using the latest version helps ensure your security program aligns with current best practices and industry standards.
Vanta gives you a central system for managing and demonstrating CIS Controls compliance. It continuously monitors controls, collects timestamped evidence, and tracks required documentation. You can share your compliance status through your Trust Center, helping customers and partners verify your program without exposing sensitive internal details.
Vanta supports all three CIS Implementation Groups out of the box. A built-in comparison view helps you evaluate requirements across groups. You can move between Implementation Groups at any time without losing data, making it easy to scale your program as your security maturity grows.
Preparation time depends on your starting security posture and target Implementation Group. Vanta helps reduce preparation time with automated evidence collection, continuous monitoring, and prebuilt controls, saving significant effort compared to manual processes.
