What it covers
Inside a CIS Controls v8 assessment.
Celeredge benchmarks the client against the 18 CIS Controls and the relevant Implementation Group, evidences which safeguards are in place, and ranks the highest-impact gaps.
- Scored on CIS Controls v8's own scale — not a generic rubric
- Every score traceable to the client's own evidence
- Gaps ranked by severity, ready to become the plan
- A board-ready slide deck and detailed report, generated automatically
How it works
From the client's documents to a board-ready deck.
1 · Evidence in
Upload the client's documents — policies, reports, data. An AI interviewer asks targeted follow-ups to fill anything missing.
2 · Scored on the standard
Every dimension is scored on the framework's own scale, with each score traceable to the evidence behind it — gaps ranked by severity.
3 · Board-ready out
A board-ready slide deck and HTML report are generated automatically — executive summary, maturity landscape and a sequenced plan.
