Is an “easy way” or any documentation that would show the differences between minor Benchmark versions ,such as what was added/removed? |
Solution 1 - Manual comparison of Benchmarks
There is no exact way to place two Benchmarks side by side and see the differences (excepting something to the effect of opening up both Benchmarks side by side with the scroll lock via a preview app.)
However, at the end of every minor Benchmark release there is an ‘Appendix: Change History’. The Change History lists out every change that has been implemented since the previous version.
For example, if you started with the newest minor version of a CIS Windows Server 2019 Benchmark v1.2.1 and the CIS Windows Server 2019 Benchmark v1.2.0 you would refer to the Change Appendix at the end of v1.2.1. Using this Appendix you can see what changed between 1.2.1 and 1.2.0. Next you would do the same thing between v1.2.0 and v1.1.0 and so on and do forth moving backwards through the minor Benchmark versions.

|---|
Major revisions to a Benchmark, such as moving from v1.0.0 to v2.0.0 will not contain a Change Appendix as the Recommendation numbers may have changed or may no longer align to the previous major Benchmark version. |
