CIS Top 20 Controls 

What is CIS Top 20 security controls?

The Center for Internet Security Critical Security Controls (CIS CSC) were created in coordination with US DHS, NSA, SANS and other groups to establish a set of the 20 most critical security controls to ensure cyber security. Now on Version 8, and known as the Top 18 CIS Controls, they contain over 170 sub-controls with specific target levels for compliance. 

While originally designed for IT, Verve has worked with our clients to adapt the standard into the OT/ICS environment, enabling a single standard across IT & OT.  Verve works closely with industrial organizations to establish CSC Top 20 programs and build dynamic compliance and security management processes. With the Verve Security Center platform, visibility into measurement, alerting and discovery is enhanced by supporting services.

Verve’s software and solutions are vendor-agnostic and provide integrated reporting of all necessary components for compliance of CIS controls.
