How to demonstrate the status of System Hardening for audits
When you perform System Hardening, you need to monitor it. It is also important to document your successes in writing – for example, for audits. With these tools, you can do this in no time at all.
Important: Proof of System Hardening
Do you want to obtain ISO 27001 certification? Would you like to have cyber insurance with acceptable terms and conditions? Or does your organization fall under the DORA Directive?
In all cases, you must professionally harden your IT systems according to established standards (e.g., CIS benchmarks). You are also required to provide proof of your System Hardening status. Without proof, you may be denied ISO certification, for example.
To meet the documentation requirement, you could create a report manually. A much more efficient option is to use a hardening tool that generates a hardening report at the touch of a button.
