based on STIG v1r12 25th Oct 2023
Ability to audit a system using a lightweight binary to check the current state.
This is:
- very small 11MB
- lightweight
- self contained
It works using a set of configuration files and directories to audit STIG of RHEL/CentOS 7 servers. These files/directories correlate to the STIG Level and STIG_ID
Tested on
- RHEL8
- CentOS8
- Rocky8
- Alma-Linux 8
feedback on any differences between OSs please raise an issue

You must have goss available to your host you would like to test.
You must have sudo/root access to the system as some commands require privilege information.
Assuming you have already clone this repository you can run goss from where you wish.
Please refer to the audit documentation for usage.
This also works alongside the Ansible Lockdown RHEL8-STIG role
Which will:
- install
- audit
- remediate
- audit
These are found in vars/STIG.yml Please refer to the file for all options and their meanings
STIG listed variable for every control/benchmark can be turned on/off or section
In this case installed or skipped using the standard name for a package to be installed or _skip to skip a test.
Some sections can have several options in that case the skip flag maybe passed to the test or exact details relating to your requirements e.g.
- rhel7stig_use_gui
- rhel7stig_is_router
- rhel7_stig_nameservers:
- 8.8.8.8
- 9.9.9.9
