hardening-windows-endpoint-with-cis-benchmark
Hardens Windows endpoints using CIS (Center for Internet Security) Benchmark recommendations to reduce attack surface, enforce security baselines, and meet compliance requirements. Use when deploying new Windows workstations or servers, remediating audit findings, or establishing organization-wide security baselines. Activates for requests involving Windows hardening, CIS benchmarks, GPO security baselines, or endpoint configuration compliance.

# Hardening Windows Endpoint with CIS Benchmark
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Deploying new Windows 10/11 or Server 2019/2022 endpoints that require security hardening
- Establishing organization-wide security baselines using CIS Level 1 or Level 2 profiles
- Remediating findings from compliance audits (PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2) that reference CIS benchmarks
- Validating existing endpoint configurations against current CIS benchmark versions
**Do not use** this skill for Linux endpoints (use hardening-linux-endpoint-with-cis-benchmark) or for cloud-native workloads that require CIS cloud benchmarks.
## Prerequisites
- Windows 10/11 Enterprise or Windows Server 2019/2022 target endpoints
