Three Implementation Groups

CIS Controls are organized into Implementation Groups so you can prioritize based on your organization's size, resources, and risk profile.

IG156 safeguards

Essential Cyber Hygiene

Small businesses with limited IT resources

The minimum standard of information security for all enterprises. IG1 covers the most critical controls that every organization — regardless of size — must implement to defend against common attacks.

Example Safeguards

  • Data protection basics
  • Secure configuration
  • Account management
  • Email & web browser protections
IG274 safeguards

Foundational Security

Mid-size organizations with dedicated IT staff

Builds on IG1 with additional controls for organizations that store or process sensitive client or company information. IG2 addresses more sophisticated attack techniques and requires dedicated security resources.

Example Safeguards

  • Vulnerability management
  • Audit log management
  • Network monitoring
  • Malware defenses
  • Data recovery
  • Penetration testing
IG318 safeguards

Advanced Security

Large enterprises facing advanced threats

The full CIS Controls implementation for organizations with significant security teams and resources. IG3 addresses advanced persistent threats and nation-state level attacks.

Example Safeguards

  • Application software security
  • Incident response management
  • Penetration testing program
  • Security awareness training
  • Service provider management
  • Network infrastructure management
