Map firewall controls, evidence, and gaps to CIS Controls v8/v8.1 safeguards. Use when assessing IG1/IG2/IG3, inventory, secure configuration, access, logging, threat prevention, or safeguard IDs such as 4.2 and 13.3. Excludes product-specific CIS Benchmarks.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

CIS Controls v8.1 (June 2024) preserves the Control/Safeguard numbering while adding a Governance security function aligned to NIST CSF 2.0; confirm which version the organization uses. …

How to install
mdr add mechubsec/fwskillsshare/cis-controls-ngfw-compliance@sha256:8b8e9efd417b44b6The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
