CIS Benchmarks
Assess a selected benchmark/version against explicitly authorized systems. Scanner output is partial evidence, not certification; verify applicability, documented exceptions and operational impact before remediation.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Assessing security compliance
- Implementing security baselines
- Meeting regulatory requirements
- Hardening systems to standards
Assessment Tools
OpenSCAP
Lynis
InSpec
Kubernetes CIS
Remediation Workflow
Best Practices
- Baseline before hardening
- Document exceptions
- Automate assessments
- Track compliance over time
- Regular re-assessment
- Version control configurations

Limitations
- An OpenSCAP/Lynis assessment may require privileges and read sensitive host configuration; approve the exact host, profile, privileges, private outputs and limits first. Do not enable auto-remediation or mount all host paths without reviewing necessity. A generic Lynis audit is not a complete CIS benchmark.
- Benchmark/profile identifiers and installed SCAP content vary; use OpenSCAP’s documented info/eval flow. Test changes and preserve rollback/access before hardening production.
- Docs-only import: upstream scripts and templates not bundled.
Example
Adapted from BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills (MIT); frontmatter, When to Use/Limitations, and safety boundaries added for upstream compliance. Docs-only import: helper scripts and templates not bundled.
