Spot weak settings before they become problems
A structured review against recognised technical settings can reveal gaps or weak areas before they become a wider issue.
CIS Benchmarking
Strengthen Security Settings And Reduce Avoidable Risk.
CIS Benchmarking helps organisations review how securely systems and platforms are set up, using recognised good practice as a reference point. A practical way to spot weak settings, improve consistency, and support security improvement work.

Why it matters
Weak Settings Create Unnecessary Exposure. Benchmarking Helps Close Those Gaps.
Even when software is up to date, weak or inconsistent settings can still leave systems exposed. CIS Benchmarking gives you a more structured way to identify and address those gaps across your environment.
Recognised good practice as a reference
CIS Benchmarks are widely recognised across technical teams and assurance work, giving your review a useful, consistent foundation.
Practical findings you can act on
The output is focused on practical recommendations you can review, track and work through rather than leaving you with only a score.
Benchmark Areas
Five Platform Families. One Consistent Approach.
CIS Benchmarking can be applied across Microsoft environments, cloud platforms, servers, endpoints, browsers, databases, network devices, firewalls and other common business technologies. Select a platform area below.
Microsoft Environments
A practical review for businesses that want to improve the security settings of Microsoft cloud, endpoint, server and collaboration platforms.
Microsoft 365
Azure
Intune
Windows Server
Microsoft environments are often central to day-to-day business activity. A structured review can help improve consistency, reduce weak settings and support a stronger overall security baseline.
Cloud and Containers
A practical review of how securely cloud platforms and container environments are configured against recognised good practice.
AWS
Azure
Docker
Kubernetes
Cloud and container environments move fast, which makes consistency even more important. Benchmarking helps identify avoidable gaps and unclear settings across the stack.
Endpoints, Servers and Browsers
A practical review across workstation, server and browser environments where secure defaults and consistency matter.
Windows
macOS
Linux
Browsers
Endpoint and server settings are often spread across different teams and tools. A structured benchmark review helps surface drift, weak defaults and overlooked controls.
Network and Firewall Platforms
A practical review of the settings used across firewalls, network devices and related edge security platforms.
Firewalls
Routers
Switches
VPN
Network configuration is foundational. Benchmarking helps identify insecure defaults, unnecessary exposure and opportunities to improve consistency across platforms.
Database and Application Platforms
A practical review of the settings used across databases and application platforms that support core business systems.
SQL Server
MySQL
PostgreSQL
Web Apps
Databases and application platforms often underpin critical services. Benchmarking helps confirm how securely they are configured and where avoidable gaps remain.
