Example Conversation

You: We need a CIS Controls v8 implementation roadmap for IG1. Map safeguards to owners and status.

Agent: I’ll draft the implementation roadmap with selected IG1 safeguards, implementation status, owner per safeguard, and mapping to our existing policies (e.g. access control, patch management).

You: Run the validator. Agent: I ran check_cis_safeguard_coverage. CIS safeguards and status/owner content present. No warnings.

Sample Output Excerpt

Safeguard 1.1 — Inventory: Implemented. Owner: IT Ops. Safeguard 2.1 — Secure configs: Planned Q2. Owner: Security. Mapping: Policy ACC-01.

Built-in Validation Tools

check_cis_safeguard_coverage checks for CIS/safeguard content and implementation status/owner. Run on implementation document after drafting.
