Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the project doesn't have a normative specification that can be used as a benchmark in an audit - we can use CIS or DISA . A security baseline standard should be a norm for auditing purposes.

Describe the solution you'd like
We could either add support for a baseline standard or mention deviations from it.

Here is the original issue raised in the ansible-os-hardening repo https://github.com/dev-sec/ansible-os-hardening/issues/76

The issue names no files, entry points, or tests; done would require choosing a normative standard and documenting or implementing the baseline or its deviations.
