A Visual CIS Control Guide With Critical Steps For MSPs
Pax8’s “A visual guide” to the Center for Internet Security Critical Controls is a go-to resource for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to take the lead on securing their clients' enterprise.
Don’t be caught off guard when it comes to CIS controls.
CIS controls provide MSPs with a standardized, prioritized framework for delivering consistent cybersecurity, proving value, and meeting compliance requirements. These numerous controls and safeguards address key attack vectors, support diverse client needs, and defend against the rising threat of ransomware.
The Pax8 CIS Control Guide equips MSPs with actionable practices to strengthen client environments. It covers maintaining a full inventory of IT and software assets, using active discovery to identify and address unauthorized devices. Guidance includes data protection, secure system configuration, and account and access control management, from creation to revocation.
The guide also emphasizes the importance of continuous vulnerability management by monitoring both public and private sources, as well as maintaining strong audit log practices. Additional controls include email and web browser protections, defenses against malicious code, and reliable data recovery strategies.
