Master Cybersecurity Compliance: CIS Top 18 Controls

In the competitive landscape of emerging technology and life science sectors, ensuring compliance with security standards is no longer optional—it’s essential. Establishing trust with customers means demonstrating a commitment to robust cybersecurity practices. However, for young companies with limited resources navigating the complex world of security standards can be daunting. That’s where the Center for Internet Security (CIS) comes in, offering a roadmap to compliance through its Top 18 Controls.

At KalioTek, we understand the challenges that emerging growth companies face when it comes to cybersecurity. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to help our clients prioritize security and navigate the path to compliance efficiently and effectively. The CIS Controls, developed by a community of cybersecurity experts, provide a prioritized and prescriptive approach to achieving cybersecurity, simplifying compliance for companies across various industries.

Version 8 of the CIS Controls outlines the top 18 controls in order of importance, based on their real-world impact in preventing breaches. From inventory and control of hardware assets to continuous vulnerability management, each control is meticulously designed to mitigate specific threats and reduce risk. By following the CIS Controls, companies can establish a solid foundation for cybersecurity and demonstrate their commitment to protecting sensitive data and valuable assets.

Moreover, the CIS Controls offer additional benefits:

  • Provides a prioritized and prescriptive path for achieving cybersecurity
  • Developed by a community of cybersecurity experts
  • Simplifies compliance with cybersecurity standards
  • Maps controls to various industry-specific compliance requirements (such as HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, etc.)

KalioTek has over 20 years of experience implementing security controls in our IT solutions for emerging growth companies. CIS Controls are integrated into everything we do, ensuring that our clients have the necessary safeguards in place to meet compliance requirements and mitigate security risks. Our team of experts works closely with clients to select and implement right-sized security solutions tailored to their unique needs, guiding them through the compliance process and providing support every step of the way.

As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, compliance with security standards will remain a top priority for emerging technology and life science companies. By embracing the CIS Top 18 Controls and partnering with experienced MSPs like KalioTek, companies can strengthen their security posture, build trust with customers, and position themselves for long-term success in an increasingly digital world. Let us help you navigate the path to compliance and achieve peace of mind knowing that your cybersecurity needs are in good hands.
