Case Study: Critical Security Controls achieves faster audit compliance and continuous control validation with Cavirin

Center for Internet Security Critical Security Controls v6.0

Critical Security Controls faced the challenge of demonstrating continuous, auditable compliance with CIS CSC v6.0 across complex, cloud and hybrid environments. Organizations using the Controls struggled with misconfigurations, missing patches, weak password policies, lack of logs, and the rising burden of external audits — all of which can lead to business disruption and failed assessments. Cavirin was engaged to map system configuration and CIS Benchmark rules to CSC risks and to provide continuous visibility into control failures and successes.

Cavirin implemented its Automated Risk Analysis Platform (ARAP™) to automatically check system configurations, report against SOC 2 illustrative criteria, and map findings to CIS CSC v6.0 risks. The solution delivers continuous monitoring, prioritized remediation guidance, and out‑of‑box policy packs that support AWS, Azure, GCP and multiple compliance frameworks. By using Cavirin, organizations accelerated remediation, shortened audit cycles (including faster SOC 2 completions), reduced business disruption from findings, and made control status continuously available for risk-management reporting.
