Join us on Tuesday, June 21, 2022 at 1:00 PM ET for the CIS RAM v2.1 workshop. HALOCK partner Chris Cronin will be presenting the latest release which includes Implementation Group 3 (IG3).
CIS RAM v2.1 (Center for Internet Security® Risk Assessment Method) is a free information risk assessment method designed to help justify investments for reasonable implementation of the CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls). It provides step-by-step instructions, examples, templates, and exercises for conducting risk assessments so that they meet the requirements of established information security risk assessment standards, legal authorities, and regulators.
CIS developed CIS RAM v2.1 through an ongoing partnership with HALOCK Security Labs. HALOCK and CIS first collaborated to bring the methods to the public as CIS RAM v1.0 in 2018. Since then, HALOCK had been providing CIS RAM methods with a positive response from legal authorities, regulators, attorneys, business executives, and technical leaders.
CIS is a founding member of The DoCRA Council, an organizations which maintains the risk analysis standard that CIS RAM v1.0 is built upon.
