What Does CIS WorkBench do?

CIS WorkBench brings together the CIS Controls and CIS Benchmarks Communities, allowing for greater collaboration among experts. Discussions range from the most detailed technical configuration settings to broader cybersecurity policies. Integrating these groups on the same platform provides everyone with greater insight into key initiatives, such as how the content in the CIS Benchmarks map to Safeguards within the CIS Controls.

With CIS WorkBench’s user-friendly dashboard, participating in multiple communities is easier than ever. It’s also simple to track discussion topics and follow a CIS Benchmark along each stage of the approval process. CIS WorkBench allows users to create tickets, filter through group forums, and download publicly-available CIS Controls and CIS Benchmarks resources.

CIS WorkBench provides additional features and cybersecurity resources for CIS SecureSuite Members:
