Windows Secure Host Baseline
Automated configuration guidance for implementing the U.S. Department of Defense's Secure Host Baseline settings on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016.
What is Windows Secure Host Baseline?
Windows Secure Host Baseline is an open-source framework that provides configuration guidance and automation tools for implementing the U.S. Department of Defense's Secure Host Baseline security settings on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. It helps organizations deploy these operating systems with pre-configured security policies that align with national security standards and top mitigation strategies. The project includes Group Policy objects, compliance checks, and PowerShell scripts to automate and validate security configurations.
System administrators and security professionals in government, defense, and high-security environments who need to deploy Windows systems compliant with DoD security standards. It's particularly valuable for administrators of National Security Systems and Defense Industrial Base organizations.
Developers and administrators choose this project because it provides authoritative, pre-configured security baselines from the NSA Cyber team, eliminating the need to manually interpret complex security requirements. The automation tools save significant time and reduce human error when deploying secure configurations across large environments.
