Practical security basics

CIS Controls — plain language

Security basics that smaller public teams can actually implement. FalconForgeAI helps you show the proof.

In plain English

CIS Controls are a prioritized list of security basics—especially useful for smaller public organizations that need practical steps, not theory. They help you show real hygiene under your ORC § 9.64 program.

High-value basics for local government

Know your systems

Inventories of computers, servers, software, and cloud tools.

Control access

Strong logins, multi-factor authentication, and timely offboarding.

Backups that work

Test restores for finance, student systems, and critical services.

Logs and review

Records you can use if you must investigate or report an incident.

How FalconForgeAI helps you

We translate CIS-style basics into a clear scorecard for your public organization.

  • Find the basics — Inventories, MFA, backups, logging, and training proof.
  • Call out thin spots — What is missing or only “assumed” to exist.
  • Pair with ORC § 9.64 — Show how daily hygiene supports your adopted program.
  • Give IT a work list — Ordered steps your staff or MSP can actually run.

We help you see and organize the story. Your leaders still decide. We do not file OCIC or Auditor reports, certify compliance, or give legal advice.
