About

OpenSCAP is an open source project that provides tools and policies for managing system security and standards compliance.

Tools

The OpenSCAP ecosystem provides multiple tools to assist administrators and auditors with assessment, measurement, and enforcement of security baselines.

Security Policies

The OpenSCAP project provides a wide variety of hardening guides and configuration baselines developed by the open source community, ensuring that one can choose a security policy which best suits the needs of their organization, regardless of its size.

Standards

Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) is U.S. standard maintained by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The OpenSCAP project is a collection of open source tools for implementing and enforcing this standard, and has been awarded the SCAP 1.2 certification by NIST in 2014.
