The Center for Internet Security (CIS) publishes consensus-based benchmarks and best practices for securely configuring IT systems.

SITE Cloud and CIS Benchmarks

CIS benchmarks provide baseline security guidance for software, operating systems, networks, and cloud platforms.

The SITE Cloud benchmark covers recommendations for secure configuration of SITE Cloud resources and services.

Customers can use the CIS SITE Cloud Foundations Benchmark as a baseline when deploying workloads on SITE Cloud.

The benchmark provides two levels of recommendations:

Level	Description
Level 1	Basic security settings with minimal functionality impact.
Level 2	Strict security settings for high-risk environments.

SITE Cloud offers CIS Hardened Images for Linux and Windows in Cloud Portal. The images are preconfigured according to CIS benchmark recommendations.
