CIS Benchmark Compliance for Databases

CIS Benchmark Compliance for Databases helps teams operationalise CIS Benchmarks for this platform group with CyberSilo—not a one-time spreadsheet exercise.

Scope first: Match each asset class to the correct CIS Benchmark PDF before you score.

Who this page is for

Treat database benchmarks as living baselines: version upgrades and cloud managed engines change which recommendations apply.

What CyberSilo provides

Assessment workflows aligned to published CIS Benchmark profiles (typically Level 1 / Level 2 where the benchmark defines them)
Gap lists with owners and remediation tracking
Evidence exports suitable for internal audit and external assessors
Optional mapping into CyberSilo CSA for multi-framework programmes

How to start

Inventory in-scope platforms and confirm the matching CIS Benchmark PDF edition
Choose Level / profile targets that operations can sustain
Baseline, remediate high-impact gaps, then enable continuous reassessment for drift

Note: CIS Benchmarks are configuration baselines, not a certification. Confirm current editions on cisecurity.org.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a CIS certification?

No. CIS publishes benchmarks and Controls; certification programmes are separate. This page is about assessment and evidence.

Do you support every CIS Benchmark?

Coverage grows over time. Confirm your platforms against the live CyberSilo coverage list before scoping.

Level 1 or Level 2?

Start with Level 1 for broad deployability; add Level 2 where risk and operations justify the tighter settings.
