What is important, is that Secscan is not only able to efficiently scan your host in seek of configuration mismatch with CIS requirement - it also informs you about what have you just resolved. \\

Furthermore, you have reference to each CIS  guidance, with more explanation not only what is wrong, but also why it is important and what issues you might notice after changing. \\
