Framework Glossary
CIS Controls
Prioritized safeguards for practical security improvement.
CIS Controls provide a focused set of safeguards that help organizations address common attack paths, operational gaps, and baseline security practices.
They help teams focus on security basics that reduce common exposure before expanding into more complex governance or platform programs.
DataFence uses CIS Controls to structure baseline reviews, identify high-value hygiene gaps, and convert broad safeguards into owner-specific remediation work.
Outputs may include a safeguard coverage table, priority gap list, owner action register, implementation notes, and follow-up measurement plan.
