This Build Kit supports all profiles available in the Benchmark and will remediate the target accordingly. In testing against a default SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 sp6 installation for the Level 2 Server profile, the Build Kit remediates more than 120 default settings that do not comply with the Benchmark guidance. A follow-up scan by CIS-CAT® Pro returns a PASS result over 93%.
