Home¶

Introduction¶

Home serves as the landing page when you log in to the CIS SecureSuite Platform. It provides performance data on Benchmarks and Controls assessments as well as information specific to the user. It also displays an overview of your Cybersecurity Journey based on a CIS Controls assessment.

My Journey data at the top with loaded Controls assessment. Benchmarks data and information appears at the top-half of the page. Controls data and information appears below the Benchmarks section.

This guide explains how to use the sections on the Home page:

My Cybersecurity Journey
Benchmarks
Controls

Collapse Benchmarks or Controls

If you are using the CIS SecureSuite Platform for just the Benchmarks or Controls, you can collapse either section to focus on relevant data.

My Cybersecurity Journey¶

My Cybersecurity Journey provides an overview of your CIS Controls IG1 assessment results organized by six security function stages — Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Within each security function, safeguards are further organized into 10 tool categories developed as part of the CIS Cost of Cyber Defense: CIS Controls IG1 guide, which identifies the types of tools needed to implement essential cyber hygiene.

If you have access(see Getting Started with My Cybersecurity Journey) to My Journey but have not yet selected a Controls Assessment, a call-to-action prompt appears at the top of the page.

My Cybersecurity Journey Overview¶

When the Cybersecurity Journey feature is enabled and a Controls assessment has been selected, a panel appears providing a snapshot of your IG1 scores presented by the NIST security functions. No scores or gap information are shown until an assessment is selected.

Overall IG1 score: The average of all per-safeguard scores across the 56 CIS Controls v8.1 IG1 safeguards in the selected assessment. All safeguards contribute to the score regardless of whether they are scored, unscored, or marked not applicable.
Score/status indicator: A combined indicator showing your overall completion percentage and status.

Status	Score Range
ON TRACK	≥ 80%
NEEDS WORK	40 – 79%
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION	< 40%

Security function tiles: Averaged scores for Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover, each color-coded by status.
Top 3 gap categories: Your three lowest-scoring tool categories, each clickable to navigate to the tool category detail view.
