Overview

What This Engagement Covers

A comprehensive assessment tailored to your environment.

Our CIS Controls penetration testing validates that your implementation of the CIS Critical Security Controls actually stops real-world attacks. We test across all 18 control families with a focus on Control 18 (Penetration Testing) and map every finding to specific CIS Controls and sub-controls.

Our Process

What We Test & How

What We Test

We assess your environment against the CIS Critical Security Controls framework including asset management, data protection, secure configuration, account management, access controls, log management, network defense, and incident response. We also validate system configurations against applicable CIS Benchmarks for your operating systems, cloud platforms, and network devices.

Our Approach

We map your CIS Controls implementation to real attack scenarios. We test whether your asset inventory catches rogue devices, whether your configurations match CIS Benchmarks, whether your access controls prevent unauthorized access, whether your monitoring detects our testing activities, and whether your incident response procedures activate appropriately. Every finding maps to a specific CIS Control, sub-control, and Implementation Group.
