An organization wants to adopt recognized baseline settings for widely used services across multiple hosting providers. Which source meets that requirement?
Guidelines from the Center for Internet Security (CIS) define recognized secure configurations for many platforms. Internal or local documentation is often specific and not widely recognized. Regulations addressing data privacy concentrate on personal information rather than baseline settings. Standards for payment processing address cardholder data rather than general security configurations for diverse environments.
