XCCDF Specification
Information technology products are increasingly vulnerable to multiple threats, such as viruses and configuration disparity. With XCCDF, users can design easier, more uniform security benchmarks and allow benchmarks to be used with a variety of commercial and open tools.
Applying the same criteria and automated tools to multiple security benchmarks ensures known security practices and configuration settings.
XCCDF is an XML-based format that is flexible, vendor-neutral and suited for multiple checklist applications, including measuring conformance of an IT system to security benchmarks and generating benchmark test records.
