OmniHarden
3 seconds. You know exactly what's missing for your audit.
The Problem
Security compliance audits require complex tools (OpenSCAP with XML profiles, CIS-CAT with JVM) or expensive consultants ($200/hr). These tools have steep learning curves, require installation, and take minutes to run. Many organizations discover compliance gaps during the audit itself — too late.
The Solution
OmniHarden scans system configuration against CIS and PCI-DSS benchmarks in under 3 seconds. No installation. No configuration. Run the 20KB binary and get a clear PASS/FAIL/WARN report for every check. Know exactly what to fix before the auditor arrives.
Why Bare-Metal Matters
A security scanner that itself has dependencies is a contradiction. OmniHarden has zero dependencies — it reads system configuration directly via syscalls. The 20KB binary is fully auditable, making it trustworthy for the environments it's designed to protect.

Use Cases
Pre-Audit Preparation
Run OmniHarden before your PCI-DSS or SOX audit. Know exactly which checks will fail and fix them in advance. 3 seconds per server.
Continuous Compliance
Schedule OmniHarden runs across your fleet. Detect configuration drift the moment it happens, not during the next quarterly audit.
Consultant Replacement
Replace $200/hr manual security reviews with automated scanning. The same checks, in 3 seconds, for a fraction of the cost.
