Master the Essentials of Cyber Hygiene.
Eliminate 80% of Your Cyber Risk with 56 Safeguards. Most breaches aren’t the result of complex “0-day” exploits; they happen because of simple hygiene failures. Our CIS v8 Quick Check focuses on Implementation Group 1: the essential technical controls that stop the majority of automated attacks. We’ll help you benchmark your current tools and processes against this proven framework so you can prove your security maturity to partners and insurers. Fill out the form below to get started!

- Q3: How long does it take to complete?
- Q4: What will the results tell me?
- Q5: Is CIS IG1 the same as NIST CSF v2?
- Q6: Can you help us implement what the Quick Check finds?
A: A quick assessment aligned to CIS Controls Implementation Group 1—focused on the most effective baseline controls for most SMBs.
A: Small teams that want a practical baseline without enterprise complexity—especially organizations trying to reduce ransomware and account takeover risk fast.
A: Usually 5–10 minutes.
A: Where your baseline is strong, where it’s weak, and the “highest impact next steps” you can take first (identity, email, endpoint, backups, visibility).
A: They’re complementary. CIS IG1 is a practical baseline control set. NIST CSF v2 is a broader resilience framework for organizing outcomes and governance.
A: Yes—implementation can be done through a guided roadmap, co-managed support with your MSP/IT, or fully managed services depending on what you need.
