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

CIS Controls v8 CIS-4.2 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.

If you hold ISO 27001:202266.7% covered · 51 gaps If you hold FedRAMP Moderate62.7% covered · 57 gaps If you hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 557.5% covered · 65 gaps If you hold NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.050.3% covered · 76 gaps If you hold ISO 27002:202249.7% covered · 77 gaps If you hold Azure Security Benchmark49% covered · 78 gaps

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.
