# Local Compliance & Config-Drift Auditor (CLI)
## Description
The Local Compliance & Config-Drift Auditor is a purpose-built, high-performance CLI tool tailored specifically for Independent IT consultants, Managed Service Providers (MSPs), and fractional CISOs managing small to medium business assets.
Enterprise compliance architectures generate overwhelming alert noise and demand steep licensing premiums. This tool cuts through the clutter, offering a lightweight, localized mechanism to verify host compliance against essential frameworks (such as CIS Benchmarks and core cyber insurance mandates). By directly targeting host configuration states, it extracts true internal posture metrics without demanding expansive administrative footprints.
## Key Features
- Deep Configuration Inspections: Programmatically parses critical daemon configuration arrays (e.g., SSH configs, underlying access controls) utilizing optimized regex patterns.
- Granular Baseline Definition: Validates target endpoints using customizable, human-readable JSON security definitions.
- Zero-Noise Remediation Reports: Exports precise Markdown outputs mapping precise logic drift, giving technicians unambiguous remediation parameters.
- Lightweight Profile Switching: Easily switch target evaluations via the `–profile` directive.
