Three Templates For Three Different Implementation Groups

CIS Critical Security Controls consist of multiple Safeguards that need to be implemented depending upon the maturity level of the Implementation Group, and Compliance Manager GRC includes separate standard templates for each level:


Implementation Group 1 (IG1):
IG1 is the foundational set of cyber defense Safeguards that every enterprise should apply to guard against the most common attacks. It consists of 56 Safeguards that are designed to work in conjunction with small or home office commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software. IG1 enterprises are typically small to medium-sized with limited IT and cybersecurity expertise to dedicate towards protecting IT assets and personnel.56
Safeguards

Implementation Group 2 (IG2):
IG2 is comprised of an additional 74 Safeguards that build upon the 56 Safeguards identified in IG1 (130 Safeguards in total). The Safeguards selected for IG2 can help security teams cope with increased operational complexity. Some Safeguards will depend on enterprise-grade technology and specialized expertise to properly install and configure. Small enterprise units may have regulatory compliance burdens. IG2 enterprises often store and process sensitive client or enterprise information and can withstand short interruptions of service.+74
Safeguards

Implementation Group 3 (IG3):
IG3 is comprised of an additional 23 Safeguards that build upon the Safeguards identified in IG1 and IG2, totaling the 153 Safeguards in CIS Controls v8.1. An IG3 enterprise commonly employs security experts that specialize in the different facets of cybersecurity (e.g., risk management, penetration testing, application security). IG3 assets and data contain sensitive information or functions that are subject to regulatory and compliance oversight.+23

Which Implementation Group Is Right For You?

CIS Critical Security Controls consist of multiple Safeguards that need to be implemented depending upon the Maturity Level of the Implementation Group, and Compliance Manager GRC includes separate standard templates for each level:


Implementation Group 1 (IG1):
is ideal for small to medium-sized enterprises with limited IT and cybersecurity expertise. Examples of businesses that can benefit from IG1 include local restaurants, small retailers, and regional banks. With IG1, safeguards can be implemented with ease and aimed at thwarting general, non-targeted attacks. MSPs and Internal IT Professionals can benefit from implementing IG1 by providing their clients or organizations with a cost-effective and easy-to-implement cybersecurity solution. IG1 safeguards can help protect sensitive employee and financial information, ensuring business continuity, and reducing the risk of data breaches.

Implementation Group 2 (IG2):
is designed for organizations that employ individuals responsible for managing and protecting IT infrastructure. Examples of businesses that can benefit from IG2 include healthcare providers, financial services firms, and local governments. With IG2, safeguards help security teams cope with increased operational complexity and may depend on enterprise-grade technology and specialized expertise to properly install and configure. MSPs and Internal IT Professionals can benefit from implementing IG2 by offering their clients or organizations a more robust and comprehensive cybersecurity solution. IG2 safeguards can help protect sensitive client or enterprise information, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, and reducing the risk of reputational damage in the event of a data breach.

Implementation Group 3 (IG3):
is perfect for organizations that employ security experts that specialize in the different facets of cybersecurity. Examples of businesses that can benefit from IG3 include large financial services firms, healthcare providers with a significant patient data, and government agencies. With IG3, safeguards are designed to address availability of services and the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data. Successful attacks can cause significant harm to the public welfare. MSPs and Internal IT Professionals can benefit from implementing IG3 by providing their clients or organizations with the most advanced and comprehensive cybersecurity solution available.
