What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 3 controls across 3 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

CIS Controls v8 · 1 control

  • CIS-8.4 Standardize Time Synchronization

ISO 27002:2022 · 1 control

  • 8.17 Clock synchronization

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
