CIS Critical Security Controls v8

CIS-6.3 Require MFA for externally-exposed applications

Phishing-resistant MFA using hardware security keys. Software TOTP and SMS are explicitly excluded from "phishing-resistant" in NIST 800-63B and most modern framework guidance.

Products that satisfy this control:

Security key Nitrokey 3C NFC $75 Security key Nitrokey 3A NFC $69 Hardware security module Nitrokey HSM 2 $135

Same control in other frameworks:

NIST 800-53 IA-2(6) NIST CSF 2.0 PR.AA-03 ISO 27001 A.8.5 SOC 2 CC6.1 NIS2 Art.21(2)(i) CMMC 2.0 IA.L2-3.5.3

CIS-3.11 Encrypt sensitive data at rest

Hardware-bound key generation and storage. Private keys generated and stored inside a certified secure element (EAL 6+) and are non-exportable by design.

Products that satisfy this control:

Security key Nitrokey 3C NFC $75 Security key Nitrokey 3A NFC $69 Hardware security module Nitrokey HSM 2 $135

Same control in other frameworks:

NIST 800-53 SC-12 NIST CSF 2.0 PR.DS-02 ISO 27001 A.8.24 SOC 2 CC6.1 NIS2 Art.21(2)(h) CMMC 2.0 SC.L2-3.13.10

CIS-4.4 Use unique passwords and MFA for all admin access

Hardened mobile OS with per-app sensor controls, verified boot, and no background telemetry. Satisfies mobile device management and bring-your-own-device security requirements.

Products that satisfy this control:

Hardened phone NitroPhone 10 Pro $1,795 Hardened phone NitroPhone 10 Pro XL $2,195 Hardened phone NitroPhone 5a $795

Same control in other frameworks:

NIST 800-53 AC-19 NIST CSF 2.0 PR.AC-3 ISO 27001 A.8.1 SOC 2 CC6.8 NIS2 Art.21(2)(e) CMMC 2.0 AC.L2-3.1.18

CIS-2.3 Address unauthorized software

Measured boot chain verified on every power-on. Any firmware modification — supply chain implant, evil-maid attack, or malicious update — fails attestation before the OS loads.

Products that satisfy this control:

Secure laptop NitroPad V54 (14") $1,795 Secure laptop NitroPad V56 (16") $1,895

Same control in other frameworks:

NIST 800-53 SI-7 NIST CSF 2.0 DE.CM-09 ISO 27001 A.8.8 SOC 2 CC7.1 NIS2 Art.21(2)(e) CMMC 2.0 SI.L2-3.14.6

CIS-12.2 Establish and maintain a secure network architecture

VM-level compartmentalization means a compromise of one domain (e.g. browser) cannot reach another (e.g. keys, vault). No other consumer laptop provides this by default.

Products that satisfy this control:

Secure laptop NitroPad V54 (14") $1,795 Secure laptop NitroPad V56 (16") $1,895

Same control in other frameworks:

NIST 800-53 SC-3 NIST CSF 2.0 PR.AC-5 ISO 27001 A.8.22 SOC 2 CC6.6 NIS2 Art.21(2)(e) CMMC 2.0 SC.L2-3.13.3

CIS-12.3 Securely manage network infrastructure

Stateful firewall with IPS at the network perimeter. All inbound/outbound traffic inspected with Suricata rule sets. VPN gateway replaces consumer VPN dependency.

Products that satisfy this control:

Network security NitroWall V1410 $445

Same control in other frameworks:

NIST 800-53 SC-7 NIST CSF 2.0 PR.AC-5 ISO 27001 A.8.22 SOC 2 CC6.7 NIS2 Art.21(2)(e) CMMC 2.0 SC.L2-3.13.1

CIS-3.11 Encrypt sensitive data at rest

Hardware-encrypted storage and self-hosted file servers replace cloud storage with hardware you control. Encryption keys never leave your environment.

Products that satisfy this control:

Secure laptop NitroPad V54 (14") $1,795 Secure laptop NitroPad V56 (16") $1,895 Secure storage NextBox NAS $475 Hardware security module Nitrokey HSM 2 $135

Same control in other frameworks:

NIST 800-53 SC-28 NIST CSF 2.0 PR.DS-01 ISO 27001 A.8.24 SOC 2 CC6.1 NIS2 Art.21(2)(h) CMMC 2.0 SC.L2-3.13.16

CIS-15.1 Establish and maintain an inventory of service providers

Open-source firmware is publicly auditable and reproducibly built. EU jurisdiction hardware is not subject to US National Security Letters. Directly addresses hardware supply chain risk in CMMC and NIS2.

Products that satisfy this control:

Secure laptop NitroPad V54 (14") $1,795 Secure laptop NitroPad V56 (16") $1,895 Security key Nitrokey 3C NFC $75 Security key Nitrokey 3A NFC $69 Hardened phone NitroPhone 10 Pro $1,795 Hardened phone NitroPhone 10 Pro XL $2,195 Hardened phone NitroPhone 5a $795

Same control in other frameworks:

NIST 800-53 SR-3 NIST CSF 2.0 GV.SC-06 ISO 27001 A.5.19 SOC 2 CC9.2 NIS2 Art.21(2)(d) CMMC 2.0 CM.L2-3.4.1

CIS-11.5 Manage access control for remote assets

Rated safes and vaults protect physical assets, documents, and hardware backups. UL-certified fire and burglary ratings provide auditable physical security controls.

Products that satisfy this control:

Physical Safe & vault

Same control in other frameworks:

NIST 800-53 PE-3 NIST CSF 2.0 PR.AC-2 ISO 27001 A.7.1 SOC 2 CC6.4 NIS2 Art.21(2)(i) CMMC 2.0 PE.L1-3.10.1

CIS-3.10 Encrypt sensitive data in transit

Verified boot ensures the TLS stack is unmodified before communication. VPN gateway encrypts all remote access traffic. Hardware-backed keys prevent interception even if endpoints are observed.

Products that satisfy this control:

Hardened phone NitroPhone 10 Pro $1,795 Hardened phone NitroPhone 10 Pro XL $2,195 Hardened phone NitroPhone 5a $795 Network security NitroWall V1410 $445
