The STIG Compliance Challenge

Defense contractors face unique compliance burdens that generic tools don't address

Slow Manual Checks

Security teams spend hundreds of hours manually verifying STIG compliance across servers, databases, and applications.

Error-Prone Processes

Manual compliance checks are inconsistent and prone to human error, leading to missed vulnerabilities and failed audits.

Audit Preparation Stress

Generating compliance reports and checklists for auditors is tedious and often requires scrambling before inspections.

Why StigSanctum Outperforms the Competition

Database-driven intelligence that saves time, money, and eliminates compliance headaches

Database-Driven Historical Tracking

Unlike some community tools, which produce static, point-in-time reports, StigSanctum stores scan results in a centralized SQL Server database. This means:

  • Track compliance trends over weeks, months, or years
  • See exactly when findings were introduced and resolved
  • Generate executive dashboards showing improvement over time
  • Prove compliance progression to auditors with historical data

This single feature alone saves hundreds of hours during audit preparation.

STIG Once, Then Just Update

Stop re-evaluating everything from scratch. StigSanctum's intelligent update model means:

  • Initial scan establishes your baseline compliance posture
  • Subsequent scans only update what changed - dramatically faster quarterly updates
  • Automatically detect new findings without losing historical context
  • Set it and forget it with scheduled scans that maintain continuity
  • Detects expired findings and prompts deletion or remediation

Competitive tools force you to start fresh every time, losing all historical context.

Always Expanding STIG Coverage

Built by the Microsoft STIG expert who literally wrote the Azure SQL STIGs for DISA. Continuous updates include:

  • New STIG benchmarks added as DISA releases them
  • Quarterly updates with enhanced automation scripts
  • Remediation guidance refined based on real-world implementations
  • Direct access to the expert who understands STIG intent, not just requirements
  • Direct line of communication with DISA to advise on STIG wording and requirements

We've been there, we understand the importance of STIGs and the pain. Let us help you make it easier.

Learning Curve Low Medium Low Medium-High

Dramatically Lower Total Cost of Ownership

While other enterprise solutions charge tens or hundreds of thousands for medium to large enterprise deployments, StigSanctum provides enterprise-grade features at a fraction of the cost. No per-node licensing, no hidden fees, no surprise costs as you scale.

Built-In STIG Expertise

Free solutions require you to interpret DISA requirements yourself. With StigSanctum, you get built in Remediation Advice summarizes, and scripting tools. Even better, optionally direct access to the expert who helped write the SQL STIGs - meaning you understand not just what the requirement is, but why it exists and the best way to implement it.

The Best of Both Worlds

Free tools lack enterprise features. Enterprise solutions are expensive and complex. StigSanctum delivers enterprise capabilities with the simplicity of a focused tool - at a price point that makes sense for defense contractors of any size, and an ever expanding suite of tools.

Solutions for Every Environment

Enterprise features at a fraction of the cost of competitors - no licensing surprises
