Leveraging the Controls Self Assessment Tool

The CIS Controls™ are a community-built set of prioritized cybersecurity guidance. They have been growing in popularity over the past 10 years. The CIS Controls are being used and developed by thousands of cybersecurity experts around the world. To help organizations with their adoption of the CIS Controls, CIS has recently released a new tool.  This new tool, the CIS Controls Self-Assessment Tool (CIS CSAT), is a free web application that enables security leaders to track and prioritize their implementation of the CIS Controls.
