28th July 2025 – Outbound is proud to announce its official membership in the Center for Internet Security SecureSuite® Services and Consulting program, a globally respected initiative from the Center for Internet Security® (CIS®). This membership empowers Outbound to deliver even more robust, standards-aligned cyber security services to clients—helping them secure critical systems and meet complex compliance requirements with confidence.
Through the CIS SecureSuite Services and Consulting Membership, Outbound gains access to a powerful suite of integrated resources, including the CIS Benchmarks™, CIS-CAT® Pro, Build Kits, and the CIS Critical Security Controls®. These industry-recognised tools are designed to assess security postures, measure configuration compliance, build hardened system images, and align with regulatory mandates such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, FISMA, and more.
As part of this initiative, Outbound will leverage CIS Benchmarks for Apple macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, Windows Server, Microsoft 365, and Azure configurations, including the three core benchmark PDFs included in the membership. These will form the foundation for new assessment-led consultancy services that Outbound plans to roll out within the next 6–12 months, offering deeper compliance support and tailored remediation for clients with complex cloud and endpoint environments.
“We are pleased and honoured to be joining the CIS SecureSuite Services and Consulting program. Not only does this strengthen Outbound’s position in the cloud space, but it reinforces our ongoing commitment to security and compliance,” said Keith Bucknall, CITO of Outbound Group. “We look forward to working closely with CIS and using their world-class assessment and benchmarking tools to enhance our internal projects, secure our customers’ environments, and inform future service offerings.”
By aligning with the CIS SecureSuite framework, Outbound continues its mission to deliver proactive, high-quality cyber security consulting and audit services across regulated industries, helping organisations not just start secure, but stay secure.
The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is a community-driven nonprofit organisation responsible for developing the globally recognised CIS Critical Security Controls® and CIS Benchmarks™. Their frameworks are used by public and private organisations worldwide to proactively safeguard against evolving cyber threats.
