Is CIS XCCDF and OVAL content compatible with OSCAP?


Product Name

CIS Benchmark™

Product Version

All

Date

Feb 10, 2021



Problem

CIS XCCDF and OVAL files are not working with OSCAP.

Solution

CIS’s XCCDF and OVAL content is not compatible with OSCAP. OSCAP is very strict when it comes to the SCAP 1.2 schema. OSCAP also does not support all the OVAL extensions used by CIS for CIS-CAT so the content produced would not be usable by OSCAP.

If this feature is something that is needed by your organization please submit a feature enhancement request through the Product Support portal.
