an essential guide to the CIS Controls

The vast array of compliance and security mandates out there can leave many organizations confused on where to even start, but NNT believes the best place to start is with the CIS Controls. Published by the Center for Internet Security (CIS), these controls help organizations defend against known attacks by condensing key security concepts into actionable controls to achieve better overall cybersecurity defense.

The CIS Controls provide clarity on what organizations really need to be focusing on in terms of security best practices to help prioritize actions that must be taken to defend against cyber threats.

Secure controls framework now available with NNT

The Secure Controls Framework (SCF) is a comprehensive catalog of controls that is designed to enable companies to design, build and maintain secure processes, systems and applications. The SCF addresses both cybersecurity and privacy, so that these principles are designed to be “baked in” at the strategic, operational and tactical levels.
