If you're scoping CIS Controls v8 for an org or running a gap assessment, this skill knows the framework cold. It handles Implementation Group determination (IG1/IG2/IG3), maps all 153 safeguards across the 18 controls, and can crosswalk to NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or CMMC. The structured output formats are helpful: it'll give you tables for gap analysis, step-by-step guidance for specific safeguards, or policy drafts tied to control requirements. Most useful when you need to justify which controls apply to your environment or explain why a safeguard matters to non-security stakeholders. Cites specific control and safeguard IDs throughout.
