ServerMind for Linux/Compliance, Security & Auditability

Compliance, Security & Auditability

Operational control with built-in governance. OpenSCAP compliance scanning (CIS, STIG and more), Lynis hardening audits, an audit log of admin and agent actions, and file integrity monitoring of critical system files.

Compliance Scanning

  • OpenSCAP with SCAP Security Guide content: CIS Level 1/2, STIG, ANSSI, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, OSPP and Essential Eight profiles (as shipped for each distro)
  • Best profile auto-selected per host (CIS Level 1 Server first), or steered to a preferred framework
  • Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, RHEL/CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky, Oracle Linux, Amazon Linux 2023, openSUSE/SLE
  • Rule severity: High, Medium, Low
  • Per-rule fix scripts plus a downloadable OpenSCAP-generated Ansible remediation playbook per host
  • Scheduled scans (daily/weekly, chosen days, time window) plus on-demand scans
  • Failed controls tracked with first/last seen and waivers (per finding, per host or fleet-wide, with expiry)
  • Lynis hardening audit with a hardening index per host

Compliance Posture Dashboard

  • Pass-rate compliance score per host and fleet average
  • Per-framework breakdown via framework selector
  • Failed controls, hosts affected, scanned vs unscannable hosts
  • Per-host HTML compliance report download

Activity & Audit Log

  • Admin and agent actions audited with user, IP address and timestamp
  • Event categories: Authentication, User management, Configuration, Service ops, File ops, Security, System
  • Filtering by event type, user, agent and status, with free-text search
  • Statistics: total, authentication, configuration and failed events
  • Export to CSV or JSON

File Integrity Monitoring (FIM)

  • Continuous checks of critical files: passwd, shadow, group, sudoers, sshd_config, crontab, hosts, ld.so.preload, PAM
  • Auto-discovered paths: sudoers.d, every user's authorized_keys, cron directories, profile.d, ld.so.conf.d, systemd units
  • SHA-256 baseline of content, mode and ownership
  • Change types: created, modified, deleted, permission change, with High/Medium/Low severity
  • Views by host and by path with drill-down

Security Monitoring

  • Security score (0-100) with A-F grade and category breakdown
  • Categories: Network, Authentication, Filesystem, Vulnerabilities, Hardening, Malware
  • Failed login attempts, sudo events, root logins, flagged IPs
  • Country and ASN per source IP, with new-country and brute-force-then-success flags
  • Vulnerability scanning with Trivy (OS & language packages, kernel CVEs), enriched with CVSS, EPSS and CISA KEV
  • YARA malware scanning and listening-port audit

Incident Management

  • Declare incidents with SEV levels and track status
  • Incident timeline entries: updates, actions, communications, investigation notes
  • Resolve and write a post-mortem
  • Managed alongside alerts in the Alerting hub
