No disrespect intended.  That’s exactly what I would do under the circumstances.

Yep, this is the one.

 

That said, if you dig through the archives of this mailing list, I figured out how to create the bare minimum .ckl file that you need for reporting so that should give people a head start.

The .ckl issue is the answer to why use. I know not everyone works for gov't entities, but they typically require it, with very little options for other products. Management likes graphs and charts.

The STIG Viewer produces *.ckl checklist files, which some auditors and many security departments want.
