Case 6: Building a Security Framework Based on CIS Controls 8.0

Case 6: Building a Security Framework Based on CIS Controls 8.0

Challenge:

The client had a fragmented security posture — no formal framework, inconsistent patching, and no centralized visibility into systems and user activity.

Solution:

We introduced a cybersecurity strategy based on the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Controls v8.0, starting with the top priorities for SMBs:

  • Asset and software inventory

  • Secure configuration of hardware and OS

  • Centralized logging and alerting

  • MFA and password policy enforcement

  • Endpoint protection deployment

  • Vulnerability management process

  • User training and phishing simulation

    Results:

  • 65% reduction in misconfigurations and risky access

  • Auditable security baseline aligned with industry standards

  • Clear roadmap for maturing cybersecurity posture
    Improved compliance readiness for vendor and grant audits

 A structured, measurable, and scalable security program built around real-world controls.
