Audit and Compliance

We should also understand topics of compliance audits and security benchmarks. This includes CIS, PCI DSS, DISA STIG and so on.

Not everybody knows them, but knowing them can make a big difference not just in front of the client. For instance we should know:

• What are the organizations who made them?

• What are they actually testing / bench-marking?

• When and why does it makes sense to comply with them?

Here’s a quick way to get up to speed:
