What you get

- Prioritized roadmap — the high-impact controls first, in the order CIS proved stops attacks
- CIS Benchmark hardening — your actual systems (cloud, OS, browsers) configured to the secure baseline

- The human layer over the platform — use your tools; SideGuy owns the prioritization and the implementation calls
