Control 14

Control 14

Control 14 is one of the 18 Controls of the CIS Controls, Version 8.1. CIS’s guide, at its v8.1.2 revision, lists 9 Safeguards under it, numbered 14.1 to 14.9.¹ The schema uses those numbers as their identifiers. Of the Safeguards, 8 are in Implementation Group 1, all 9 in Implementation Group 2 and all 9 in Implementation Group 3. Its Safeguards are about the asset classes Users (8) and Documentation (1).

This bundle leaves out CIS’s name and description for the Control and CIS’s text for its Safeguards, because CIS licenses that text under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0; CIS’s guide gives them, and the guide’s reference says where to find it. The edition file gives the Control and each of its Safeguards a title and a description in the project’s own words, written from what each requires.² For Control 14 they are:

• Title: Training the workforce
• Description: A programme that makes the workforce security-conscious and skilled enough to reduce the enterprise’s cyber risk.
