Executive summary
The Critical Security Controls represent perhaps the most valuable cyber defence mechanism worldwide and across
multiple ICT sectors because of the many facilitation mechanisms which have been developed to assist with their
implementation and use. The present document is an evolving repository for some of the most important facilitation
mechanism for Critical Security Control.
Introduction
The Critical Security Controls ("the Controls") exist within a larger cyber security ecosystem that relies on the Controls
as critically important defensive measures. There are a variety of facilitation mechanisms for their use. The present
document provides a placeholder for reference information for several especially useful mechanisms: Hardened Images,
Mappings and Compliance, Guide for Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises, and Risk Assessment Method.
