scap-security-guide(8)

NAME
SCAP-Security-Guide - Delivers security guidance, baselines, and associated validation mechanisms utilizing the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP).

DESCRIPTION
The project provides practical security hardening advice and also links it to compliance requirements in order to ease deployment activities, such as certification and accreditation. These include requirements in the U.S. government (Federal, Defense, and Intelligence Community) as well as of the financial services and health care industries. For example, high-level and widely-accepted policies such as NIST 800-53 provides prose stating that System Administrators must audit "privileged user actions," but do not define what "privileged actions" are. The SSG bridges the gap between generalized policy requirements and specific implementation guidance, in SCAP formats to support automation whenever possible.
