Level 1 Benchmark settings/actions: Can be understood and performed by system administrators with any level of security knowledge and experience; Are unlikely to cause an interruption of service to the operating system or the applications that run on it; and Can be automatically monitored either by CIS Scoring Tools or by CIS Certified tools available from security software vendors.
