The Cloud and Cyber threats evolve every day—and so do the standards designed to defend against threats and protect organizations. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) recently released version 6 of the Microsoft 365 Security Benchmark on October 31, 2025, bringing new and updated recommendations that strengthen organizational cloud security.

Redeemer Cyber is proud to announce that all of our Microsoft 365 Security Assessment and Remediation deliverables are now fully aligned to CIS M365 v6—within just one day of its release.

Keeping Pace with CIS Updates

CIS M365 v6 reflects a significant evolution of the benchmark:

34 recommendations were updated
13 new recommendations were added
3 outdated recommendations were removed

This continuous improvement helps ensure Microsoft 365 environments stay secure as Microsoft introduces new features, settings, and cloud capabilities.

Redeemer Cyber: Fully Synchronized with the Latest Benchmark

Redeemer Cyber’s methodology is built on the CIS framework—but we also go further.

Two of our in-house Redeemer Cyber controls have now been incorporated into the CIS Benchmark itself:

2.1.15 (L1) Ensure outbound anti-spam message limits are in place
5.1.4.1 (L2) Ensure the ability to join devices to Entra is restricted

We’re proud to see our guidance validated by CIS and adopted into the official standard. Redeemer Cyber continues to maintain in-house controls that extend beyond the benchmark, ensuring clients benefit from cutting-edge, field-tested Microsoft 365 security practices.

Giving Back to the Cybersecurity Community

We believe in contributing to the greater good. Redeemer Cyber regularly submits our internal control enhancements to CIS to share knowledge, improve security standards, and strengthen the community.

Our founder remains one of just a handful of official CIS Microsoft 365 Benchmark contributors, continually shaping the future of secure cloud practices.

Don’t Wait for the Tools to Catch Up

Automated scanning tools and third-party products often take weeks—or even months—to update after a new benchmark release.

Redeemer Cyber was aligned to CIS M365 v6 within 24 hours, ensuring our clients stay protected against the latest threats and configuration risks from day one.

Final Thoughts

The release of CIS M365 v6 marks another step forward in cloud security maturity—and Redeemer Cyber remains at the forefront of that evolution.

If your organization relies on scanners or outdated tools, you may already be out of sync with current best practices. Stay ahead of the curve.
