Is CISGuard affiliated with the Center for Internet Security?

More context

It is worth being precise about the relationship. The Center for Internet Security is a US-based non-profit that authors and publishes the benchmark standards. CISGuard is a separate commercial product that reads and implements those published standards, much as many independent tools implement public specifications without any formal tie to the body that maintains them. Interoperating with a public standard is not the same as being affiliated with its author.

The distinction matters because a name that references a standard can be mistaken for an endorsement by the standard's owner. CISGuard makes no such claim: it is not certified by CIS, and CIS Benchmarks and CIS Controls remain trademarks of the Center for Internet Security. Keeping that boundary explicit protects customers from assuming a first-party relationship that does not exist when they evaluate the product.
