CIS Controls (Center for Internet Security)

Also written: CIS Controls, CIS

A free set of 18 prioritized security controls from the nonprofit Center for Internet Security, broken into 153 Safeguards and three Implementation Groups (version 8.1). Control 14 covers security awareness and skills training, and because CIS is not a government body, the Controls count as an international standard.
