CIS CSC refers to the Center for Internet Security Critical Security Controls, a globally recognised cybersecurity framework designed to help organisations defend against the most common cyber threats. The CIS Critical Security Controls provide a prioritised set of best practices that improve security posture through practical and measurable safeguards. The framework includes controls covering asset management, vulnerability management, secure configuration, access control, monitoring, and incident response. Many organisations in Australia adopt CIS CSC as a complementary framework alongside the ACSC Essential Eight, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and ISO 27001. By implementing CIS Critical Security Controls, businesses can establish stronger security baselines, improve visibility across IT environments, and systematically reduce exposure to cyber risks. The framework is widely used by government agencies, enterprises, and security professionals as a practical guide for building effective cybersecurity programs.

MyRISK supports CIS Critical Security Controls by helping organisations operationalise them through mapped assessments, evidence collection, exception handling, and reporting. This makes CIS CSC usable as part of ongoing governance rather than only as a technical benchmark. It also supports clearer communication with leadership about coverage and maturity.
