Framework

Establish a Practical Cybersecurity Baseline with CIS v8.1 Controls

The CIS Critical Security Controls provide a prioritized, prescriptive set of cybersecurity best practices to help organizations establish consistent security hygiene, guide control implementation by maturity level, and strengthen foundational defenses across modern IT, cloud, and hybrid environments.

Drata helps teams map controls, centralize evidence, and automate continuous monitoring so they can reduce manual effort, improve security program maturity, and demonstrate trust as cybersecurity expectations evolve.

WHY DRATA

Discover the Drata Difference
