Every other leader in the business runs on a system of record. The CISO has been left to decide in spreadsheets, vendor PDFs and gut feel. CTRL 18 is the platform that changes that — a Cyber Decision Platform built for the way security leaders actually decide.
The average security program runs dozens of tools, each with its own dashboard and its own definition of "critical." None of them answer the only questions that matter to the business: Where do we actually stand? What do we fix first? What is it worth? The result is decision-making by heatmap — defensible to no one, least of all the board.
The CIS Controls v8 are the industry's most widely adopted, community-built defense standard — 18 controls, 153 safeguards, ranked so you do the high-impact work first. They're recognized by auditors, insurers and regulators, and they map onto everything a regulated Indian enterprise already answers to: DPDPA 2023, SEBI CSCRF, NIST CSF 2.0 and ISO 27001. Answer the 18 once; satisfy many.
IG1: 56 · IG2: 130 · IG3: 153 safeguards.
CTRL 18 projects every CIS gap onto the MITRE ATT&CK framework and the Lockheed Martin Kill Chain, so a weak safeguard stops being a spreadsheet row and becomes a visible path an attacker could walk — from initial access to impact. That's what turns "we're weak on Control 7" into a decision a CISO can defend and a board can fund.
CTRL 18 turns your mapped posture and attack paths into a prioritized set of decisions spanning People, Process and Technology — each with the risk reduction quantified in dollars by the CTRL 18 risk engine (probabilistic loss modeling, anchored to NIST SP 800-30 / IR 8286 and ISO 27005). Not a list of findings. A ranked set of decisions, with a price on each.
The CIS 18 tell you what to fix first, not just what's wrong.
Live telemetry and documents over self-graded surveys.
Anchored to CIS, NIST and ISO — nothing proprietary to argue with.
