CIS Benchmarks are industry-accepted security configuration guidelines developed by the Center for Internet Security. They provide detailed best practices for securely configuring operating systems, databases, applications, network devices, and cloud platforms.
Terra System Labs helps organisations implement CIS Benchmarks to harden their infrastructure against common attack vectors. We assess your current configurations, identify deviations from benchmark recommendations, and guide remediation with minimal business disruption.
Our services are suitable for enterprises, data centres, SaaS providers, and regulated industries looking to standardise secure configurations across on-premise and cloud environments while aligning with broader compliance frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI DSS.
Baseline Configuration Assessment: Review current configurations of servers, endpoints, network devices, databases, and cloud resources against CIS Benchmarks.
Gap Identification & Prioritisation: Identify non-compliant settings and prioritise remediation based on risk, criticality, and business impact.
Secure Hardening Roadmap: Define a step-by-step hardening plan that aligns with your change management processes and maintenance windows.
OS & Server Hardening: Apply CIS-based secure configurations to Linux, Windows, and other operating systems used in production and staging environments.
Database & Application Hardening: Implement CIS-guided controls on databases and commonly deployed enterprise applications.
Cloud Platform Compliance: Align AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud resources with CIS Benchmarks and cloud-native best practices.
Automation & Continuous Compliance: Integrate CIS checks into CI/CD pipelines, configuration management, and security scanning tools for ongoing compliance.
Reporting & Dashboards: Provide management-friendly reports that highlight compliance status, risk reduction, and hardening progress over time.
Alignment with Other Standards: Map CIS Benchmark controls to ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and internal security policies for unified compliance.
