What is CIS Benchmark Audit?

A CIS Benchmark Audit evaluates your IT infrastructure against the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks, globally recognized security configuration standards for operating systems, cloud platforms, databases, and network devices. We assess your Windows servers, Linux systems, AWS, Azure, GCP environments, Docker containers, and Kubernetes clusters against 100+ configuration checks to identify hardening gaps, insecure defaults, and compliance deviations. The audit ensures your systems meet industry best practices for security configuration management.

We are available 24/7 to help secure your business.

• Manual Configuration Review: Expert review of OS settings, user permissions, audit policies, network configurations, and service hardening beyond automated checks.
• Gap Analysis & Risk Scoring: Map each finding to CIS control IDs with pass/fail status, risk severity, and compliance percentage per system.
• Remediation Roadmap: Deliver prioritized fix recommendations with step-by-step hardening guides, scripts, and GPO templates for rapid remediation.

General FAQ about CIS Benchmark Audit

What are CIS Benchmarks?

CIS Benchmarks are a set of globally recognized, consensus-driven security configuration guidelines developed by the Center for Internet Security. They provide step-by-step hardening recommendations for operating systems (Windows, Linux), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), databases, network devices, and more. They are used by organizations worldwide to reduce their attack surface.

What is the difference between CIS Level 1 and Level 2?

Level 1 recommendations are practical security settings that can be implemented without impacting system functionality and are suitable for most organizations. Level 2 recommendations provide deeper security hardening but may restrict some functionality and are intended for high-security environments. We assess against both levels based on your security requirements.

Which platforms do you audit against CIS Benchmarks?

We audit Windows Server (2016/2019/2022), Windows 10/11, Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS, Debian, Amazon Linux, AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Oracle Database, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Cisco IOS, and more. Contact us for your specific platform requirements.

Is CIS Benchmark Audit required for compliance?

While CIS Benchmarks are not mandatory by themselves, they are widely referenced by compliance frameworks like PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST. Many auditors accept CIS Benchmark compliance as evidence of proper system hardening. A CIS audit helps you meet the configuration management requirements of these frameworks.
