STIG & CCI Browsing

The stig and cci command groups let you browse STIG benchmarks, rules, and CCIs with full traceability from NIST 800-53 controls down to individual STIG check rules.

STIG Commands

List STIG Benchmarks

pretorin stig list
pretorin stig list --technology-area "Network"
pretorin stig list --product "Windows" --limit 10

Show STIG Details

pretorin stig show <stig_id>

Shows benchmark metadata including title, version, release info, and severity breakdown of rules.

List Rules for a STIG

pretorin stig rules <stig_id>
pretorin stig rules <stig_id> --severity cat_i
pretorin stig rules <stig_id> --cci CCI-000015 --limit 20

Show Applicable STIGs

# Uses active system context
pretorin stig applicable

# Explicit system
pretorin stig applicable --system "My System"

AI-Infer Applicable STIGs

pretorin stig infer
pretorin stig infer --system "My System"

Uses the system’s profile to recommend which STIG benchmarks should apply.

CCI Commands

CCIs (Control Correlation Identifiers) bridge NIST 800-53 controls to specific STIG rules via SRGs (Security Requirements Guides).

List CCIs

pretorin cci list
pretorin cci list --control ac-2
pretorin cci list --status draft --limit 50

Show CCI Details

pretorin cci show CCI-000015

Shows the CCI definition, linked SRGs, and linked STIG rules.

Full Traceability Chain

pretorin cci chain ac-2
pretorin cci chain ac-2 --system "My System"

Shows the complete chain: NIST 800-53 Control -> CCIs -> SRGs -> STIG rules (and test results when --system is provided).

This is useful for understanding exactly which technical checks validate a given control requirement.
