Port Request: OpenSCAP

[Paul Pathiakis]

 Just came across that about 4 mos ago.  :)  Seemed like the next generation of tighter security for pfSense.  

So, HardenedBSD is fork of FreeBSD that is pushing in more defense (passive/active) into all the FreeBSD derivatives?  Very cool.  Nicer to have something that only has 20 or so CVEs every year versus 200 or more. ;)  

I just followed a large number of links and found G2 as well.  Nice!
OpenSCAP, if it could at least give me some sense and peace of mind that I can run it, get a result on paper and show the 'certifiers' that we have complied, I'd be very happy.  

Thank you for responding so quickly!

 I'm not really a compliance guru, so I can't say whether HardenedBSD
comes closer to <insert compliance spec here>. I have looked into
Common Criteria/NIAP briefly for US Federal Government deployments in
certain high-security enclaves. HardenedBSD does come closer with
CC/NIAP, though there are still gaps to fill.

Have you looked at OPNsense? It's a fork of pfSense built on top of
HardenedBSD.

Thanks,
