Kryden Solutions¶
Welcome to the support site for Kryden Solutions LLC STIG-aligned cloud images.
What We Offer¶
Kryden Solutions provides STIG-aligned cloud images that give you a head start on OS security hardening. Our images are pre-configured according to DISA Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) standards, saving significant time compared to hardening from scratch.
Why DISA STIG?¶
We chose DISA STIG as our baseline because it provides broad coverage across multiple compliance frameworks:
- NIST SP 800-53 Mapping - STIG controls map directly to NIST SP 800-53, which underpins FedRAMP, FISMA, and federal security requirements
- CIS Benchmark Overlap - Significant overlap with CIS Benchmarks; the DoD Cloud Computing SRG recognizes CIS as an acceptable alternative to STIGs
- FedRAMP Alignment - FedRAMP CM-6 requires the use of DoD STIGs or CIS guidelines for configuration settings
- Multi-Framework Coverage - A STIG-aligned baseline provides a head start toward NIST 800-171, CMMC, HIPAA, and PCI DSS requirements
This means implementing STIG controls helps you work toward multiple compliance objectives simultaneously.
Key Features¶
- DISA STIG Aligned - Pre-configured according to STIG guidelines
- Automated Compliance Scanning - Each release includes OpenSCAP scan results
- Quarterly Updates - Images updated quarterly to align with the DISA STIG release cycle
- Cloud Marketplace Deployment - Easy deployment via cloud provider marketplaces
What This Product Provides¶
