What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 35 controls across 20 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • NIST-CSF-DE.AE-02 Potentially adverse events are analyzed to better understand associated activities
  • NIST-CSF-DE.AE-07 Cyber threat intelligence and other contextual information are integrated into the analysis
  • NIST-CSF-DE.CM-09 Computing hardware and software, runtime environments, and their data are monitored to find potentially adverse events
  • NIST-CSF-RS.AN-03 Analysis is performed to establish what has taken place during an incident and the root cause of the incident

Other controls in CIS Control 10: Malware Defenses

You are reading one control. How much of CIS Controls v8 have you already done?

CIS Controls v8 CIS-10.7 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of CIS Controls v8 your existing evidence covers. Hold ISO 27001:2022 and 102 of 153 CIS Controls v8 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 240 were rejected on the ISO 27001:2022 pair alone.
