Overview
StigReady Applied for Rocky Linux 8: DISA STIG remediation on the StigReady base, scored in the build. OpenSCAP score 95.5% against the unmodified SSG DISA STIG profile (as of 2026-10-19). 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 DISA STIG remediation (StigForge STIG roles)
- Scored in the build against the raw, unmodified SSG DISA STIG profile
- FIPS mode enabled per STIG profile using the OS vendor's FIPS cryptographic modules
- 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:

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).
