Filesystem (scan): 11 controls for Linux hardening

Pavois audits 11 controls in the Filesystem (scan) hardening domain, across 9 systems and 5 standards (CIS, ANSSI BP-028, NIST 800-53, PCI DSS, DISA STIG). Every control declares the evidence it gathers, its severity, its remediation and its standard references.
