Description
About the CIS Controls v8.1 Toolkit
The CIS Controls work because they are prioritised: Implementation Groups 1 to 3 tell an organisation what to do first, so security effort follows real-world attack data rather than a flat checklist. This CIS Controls Toolkit turns v8.1 into working documentation — 40 templates covering the 18 controls and their safeguards, mapped to Implementation Groups, with the policies, standards and registers for asset and software inventory, access control, data protection, logging, and incident response. Each document is written so you can adopt IG1 as a baseline and grow into IG2 and IG3, evidencing safeguards as you go. Everything is editable in Microsoft Office.
CIS Controls Toolkit Author
Authored by a CISSP-certified GRC consultant with extensive experience in governance, risk and compliance, this toolkit encapsulates decades of practical expertise in a user-friendly, ready-to-use format. The templates reflect how the CIS Controls are prioritised and rolled out by Implementation Group in practice, not just the safeguard list.
Governance Docs have created this pack to comply with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Critical Security Controls v8.1 covering 18 controls and 153 safeguards across Implementation Groups IG1, IG2, and IG3.
