What is CIS?

Center for Internet Security® (CIS) BenchmarksTM are a collection of industry best practices for securely configuring IT systems, software and networks. Benchmark guidance is informed by CIS controls that map to other security frameworks, including HIPAA, the ISO 27000 family, NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), NIST SP 800-53, PCI DSS, and others. IBM Cloud supports the development of CIS benchmarks.
