CIS Compliance

No description provided
Description

Customer has adopted CIS 1.0 standards of which some of the standards are in conflict with GE’s specifications for Internet Explorer configuration. The IT Security team here at SCCA has approved exceptions to the standards for the machines we have WFM and UV installed on. Can you tell me GE’s plans to bring these IE-based apps to compliance with CIS 1.0?

    Dear Brian,

    do you have specific requirements we should consider in this request?


    The Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks are a set of compliance best practices for a range of IT systems and products. These benchmarks provide the baseline configurations to ensure both CIS compliance and compliance with industry-agreed cybersecurity standards.

    While CIS Benchmarks are valuable, they’re also crucial to regulatory compliance. CIS compliance standards create frameworks to configure IT services and products, all of which pave the way for overall regulatory compliance and, as a result, an effective cyber risk management strategy. Organizations can also use the guidelines to improve cybersecurity and help protect against cyber threats since CIS Benchmarks cover a range of products and systems.
