Oracle Solaris Compliance Guides

At installation, the compliance package provides guides to the compliance benchmarks and profiles. A guide contains the rationale for each security check and the steps to fix a failed check. Guides can be useful for training and as guidelines for future testing.

The guides that are installed with the compliance package are:

  • benchmark guide – Contains every test in benchmark. Examples are pci-dss, solaris_pci-dss, solaris, and ehc.

  • benchmark.profile guide – Contains every test in benchmark, plus a table at the end of the guide that lists which tests are selected or not selected for profile. Examples are solaris.baseline and solaris.recommended.
