Overview
StigReady Applied for RHEL 9: CIS Benchmark aligned Level 2 remediation on the StigReady base, scored in the build. OpenSCAP score 99.2% against the unmodified SSG CIS Benchmark Level 2 Server profile (as of 2026-10-17). Full evidence bundle (OpenSCAP, POA&M, SBOM, CVE) published per version.
Who this is for: Teams that need a remediated, evidence-backed baseline for regulated workloads - the OpenSCAP score and audit artifacts your assessors can review without re-scanning from scratch on day one.
What you get (StigReady Applied tier):
- StigReady Base partition layout plus CIS Benchmark aligned Level 2 remediation (StigForge roles)
- Scored in the build against the raw, unmodified SSG CIS Benchmark Level 2 Server profile
- Evidence bundle: OpenSCAP results, POA&M, SBOM, CVE scan (URL in Support)
- The published score counts every documented exemption as a failure. Boot loader, root and sudo password rules fail until you run sudo stigready-set-credentials (AWS Marketplace does not allow these passwords in an AMI). Rules that do not apply to a cloud AMI (for example remote log offload and smartcard/CAC) are listed with a POA&M entry and the customer action in the evidence bundle.
- Boot-verified on AWS Nitro; built from official OS media
Getting started:
- Subscribe and launch in EC2 with your SSH key.
- Connect as ec2-user; restrict security group TCP/22 to trusted IPs.
- Download evidence from the URL in Support; see https://stigready.com/applied .

Financing for AWS Marketplace purchases
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

Dimensions summary
You pay an hourly software fee for each running instance, charged on top of your EC2 costs. The 14 dimensions map to arm64 instance sizes across general-purpose, compute, and burstable families. Pricing scales with the instance type you pick, not with features. Smaller burstable sizes cost less per hour, while larger or compute-focused sizes cost more. The hardened image and its evidence bundle stay the same regardless of which instance size you choose. Select the size that fits your workload, and billing follows your actual usage hours.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each running arm64 EC2 instance launched from this hardened image counts as one. The software fee applies per instance per hour, charged on top of your underlying EC2 costs. Every instance carries the same hardened image and evidence bundle, regardless of the size you pick.
The software fee meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume may still apply while the instance is stopped, since those are separate from the software fee.
Every image includes an evidence bundle: an OpenSCAP ARF file, an HTML report, a POA&M, an SBOM, and a CVE scan. These are scored in-build against the raw SSG profile. The bundle and hardening stay the same no matter which instance size you choose.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Subscribe in AWS Marketplace, then launch in EC2 with your SSH key pair. Connect via SSH as ec2-user. The recommended security group allows SSH (TCP 22) from 0.0.0.0/0; narrow it to your admin network's IP range when you launch. This AMI requires IMDSv2-compatible instance metadata settings at launch. Documentation: https://stigready.com/applied . Download the per-version evidence bundle (OpenSCAP reports, POA&M, SBOM, CVE scan) from the URL in Support below. To meet the STIG/CIS boot loader, root and sudo password requirements on your instance, run sudo stigready-set-credentials after first login (AWS Marketplace policy does not allow these passwords to ship in the AMI).
