A set of modular shell scripts that audit and harden Debian 11/12/13 systems according to CIS security benchmarks, used in production at OVHcloud for PCI-DSS compliance. Each check can be run individually in audit-only or hardening mode with per-script configuration files.

Use cases

  • audit a debian server against CIS security benchmarks
  • harden debian 12 for PCI-DSS compliance
  • run automated security compliance checks on linux servers
  • generate a conformity report of system hardening checks
  • disable insecure kernel settings and filesystems per CIS recommendations
  • check for duplicate users and groups on debian

When to choose

  • you run Debian 11/12/13 and need CIS benchmark auditing or remediation
  • you must meet PCI-DSS hardening requirements on Debian hosts
  • you want per-check configurable, scriptable security audits without agents

When to avoid

  • you need hardening for non-Debian distributions like Ubuntu, RHEL, or Alpine
  • you want a GUI or centralized multi-host compliance dashboard
  • you need CIS coverage for Debian 13's finalized official guide, which is still in development
