New operating systems prioritize usability, a reality which threat actors use to exploit security gaps. Every misconfiguration creates an opportunity for compromise, and lean teams struggle in their security management efforts to harden hundreds or thousands of endpoints.
CIS SecureSuite® Membership simplifies the process with tools, benefits, and resources for implementing the secure recommendations of the CIS Benchmarks®. With the release of our CIS SecureSuite Platform, it’s now even easier for Members to harden their systems. Read on to learn how our Platform offers centralized control — plus take advantage of our limited-time multi-year savings offer.
What’s New: CIS SecureSuite Platform
The CIS SecureSuite Platform is your intuitive starting point for cybersecurity, bringing trusted guidance from the Center for Internet Security® (CIS®) into one unified experience. Built exclusively for CIS SecureSuite Members, the Platform consolidates tools — specifically, CIS CSAT Pro and CIS-CAT® Pro Dashboard — into a single interface, making security management scalable and actionable.
From policy to implementation, the Platform connects the dots. Members can use it to assess, align, and act on their security posture with integrated workflows that simplify their compliance and strengthen decision-making.
Here are two key benefits of signing up as a Member and getting started on our new Platform.
Centralized Visibility and Management
Our new Platform provides a unified view of your security posture, helping you to identify gaps, track progress, and prioritize actions based on risk.
Accelerated Compliance and Reporting
With the CIS SecureSuite Platform, you gain access to built-in tools and automated assessments to demonstrate alignment with the CIS Critical Security Controls® (CIS Controls®) and other frameworks, including ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and NIST CSF. In the process, you can streamline your audits and improve your regulatory readiness.
What’s New with the CIS Benchmarks
We continue to expand the ecosystem of tools we’ve built up around the CIS Benchmarks to help organizations like yours to harden systems faster and more consistently. By becoming a CIS SecureSuite Member, you’ll gain access to two major enhancements to help your teams simplify their configuration management and compliance efforts.
CIS-CAT Pro Assessor for Audit Reporting
Members can use CIS-CAT® Pro Assessor to validate compliance with CIS Benchmarks and generate audit-ready reports. This capability closes the loop from configuration to evidence, supporting internal governance and external audits. By automating assessments and reporting, CIS-CAT Pro Assessor helps organizations demonstrate alignment to industry-recognized standards and regulatory requirements.
CIS‑CAT Pro Assessor now includes automated assessment capabilities for the CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark for Microsoft 365 Commercial Cloud.
With this new coverage, you can automatically assess your Microsoft 365 tenant against CIS-recommended secure configurations across key services, including:
- Exchange Online
- SharePoint Online
- OneDrive for Business
- Microsoft Teams
- Microsoft Power BI (Fabric)
- Microsoft Entra ID
Mapping GPO Settings to Intune Build Kits
Additionally, organizations that rely on legacy GPO settings can now transition to modern endpoint management without complexity. CIS SecureSuite Members can use GPO-to-Intune mappings to modernize their environments while maintaining alignment to the CIS Benchmarks. This feature simplifies deployment and policy management during cloud transitions, reducing manual effort and improving consistency.
