CIS Controls v8 CIS-13.5: Manage Access Control for Remote Assets

Control the access granted to assets that connect remotely to enterprise resources, setting the level of access by whether the asset has current anti-malware software, whether its configuration complies with the enterprise secure configuration process, and whether its operating system and applications are current.

Other controls in CIS Control 13: Network Monitoring and Defense

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

CIS Controls v8 CIS-13.5 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.
