## What it is
HardeningKitty is a PowerShell module that audits and hardens Windows system configurations against a predefined finding list. It reads registry and policy settings, scores the system's security posture, and can apply recommended hardening values.

## Use cases
- audit windows security configuration
- harden windows 10 registry settings
- check windows server against hardening checklist
- score my system's security baseline
- find missing LSA protection and printer driver restrictions
- apply CIS-style hardening via powershell

## When to choose
- you need an automated Windows configuration audit with severity scoring
- you want to harden standalone Windows machines or workstations via PowerShell
- you are a blue team checking compliance against a hardening finding list

## When to avoid
- you need centralized fleet-wide configuration management
- you need vulnerability scanning of installed software rather than OS configuration
- you run non-English Windows systems where analysis may be inaccurate
